Shocking images are coming to light from Azovstal where the steel plant is receiving heavy bombardment from the Air Force and artillery.
Russia's Defense Ministry announced a few hours ago more than 600 dead Ukrainians with the vast majority coming from Azovstal!

Unfortunately, WarNews247, which wrote last night about "a million dead", is confirmed. Eventually things got even worse as Russia launched the fiercest attack since the start of the war in Ukraine.

US and Ukrainian military sources said Russia had taken off strategically for Tu-160 bombers and fired cruise missiles at the plant. At the same time, warships from the Caspian Sea and a submarine from the Black Sea assisted in the bombing operations.

From the videos released by the Russians, it seems that they are bombarding Azov forces with MLRS BM-21 "Grad", 152mm D-20 guns as well as 152 mm Krasnopol 2K25 guided missiles. There are tanks and snipers around the perimeter.

They entered the catacombs!
Russian forces managed to enter the underground catacombs where hand-to-hand fighting is now taking place with the Ukrainians and Azov's forces.

Yesterday, after several hours of pounding, the Russian forces managed to break the defense of the Ukrainians and Azov forces that are huddled in the Azovstal factory.

Late at night, with the help of a former Azovstal steel worker who allegedly showed the hatches and tunnel paths, Russian forces were able to enter the catacombs.

Today, an Azov's official denied the Ukrainian government, which announced that "Russian forces had been repulsed." Azov's spokesman said fierce fighting was taking place inside the plant and that Russian forces had not been repulsed.

He even asked Zelensky for help again "to help the wounded soldiers who are trapped."

Sviatoslav Palamar said in a video that "injured soldiers trapped in the factory are dying from inadequate medical care."

"Once again: no one fired, no one is in the factory. "Fierce fighting continues, " Palamar told Channel 24.
