Drone footage shows Mariupol devastation

After weeks of some of the fiercest fighting in the conflict, Mariupol lies largely in ruins. This new drone footage shot by RT shows an aerial view of the devastation.

Below, apartment blocks lie torn open by artillery shells, used now only as makeshift cover for troops engaged in close quarters fighting. Some buildings can still be seen with smoke rising, the façades charred and blackened. Others have been almost entirely flattened. The Mariupol theatre, once a landmark of the city, lies with its roof almost entirely collapsed, and rubble spilling outwards.

Mariupol has also seen much of the humanitarian focus during the conflict, with thousands already evacuated.
