Mariupol bombing: before and after satellite images show destruction in Ukraine city

The scale of the destruction in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol at the hands of Russian forces has emerged in new satellite images that show devastated residential building, blasted parklands and smouldering grocery stores.

Orlov said 1,160 people had been killed already, with 47 buried on Wednesday alone. About 200,000 people want to get out of the city, but with humanitarian corridors shelled, only around 2,000 to 3,000 are able to leave a day.

The first image, taken by private company Maxar, shows the extensive damage done to grocery stores and a shopping mall in the city, with both buildings smouldering under the intense shelling

Another photo reveals the damage done to residential areas, where many residents are without power, heat, water or communications for over a week. Some of the buildings have been entirely destroyed.

Another image shows swathes of residential houses destroyed, with neighbouring parkland appearing to be scorched. What appears to be an apartment block on the left edge is heavily damaged.

Another comparative image shows the damage done to malls and shopping centres, with the roof of the central building partially collapsed and the interior exposed.
