Satellite Images Allegedly Show Mass Grave Near Mariupol
New satellite images from near the besieged southeastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol released on Thursday (April 21) were said to show scores of freshly-dug graves.
The images from Maxar Technologies purport to show the gradual creation of a mass grave site next to an existing graveyard on the edge of Manhush, a town located around 20 km (12 miles) west of Mariupol.
The company said the images, taken between March 19 and April 3, 2022, show around 200 new graves covering an area of around 85 square metres (approx. 914 sq ft).
