1:26Now PlayingThe Russian Defense Ministry reported Sunday that two groups of civilians have been evacuated from houses close to the Azovstal steelworks in Mauripol - one group of 25 people on Saturday and another group of 21 people during the night Saturday into Sunday, a total of 46 people.
The report came afterRussia's RIA Novosti news agency said Saturday that 19 adults and six children were transported out of the city but gave no further details. A top official with the Azov Regiment, the Ukrainian unit defending the Azovstal steelworks, said 20 civilians were evacuated Saturday, though it was not clear if he was referring to the same group.
The U.N. has not confirmed that people were able to leave Mariupol on Saturday.
An Associated Press journalist saw women and children arriving in Bezimenne, a village which is under the control of Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
After passing necessary checks, they were left in a tent camp for refugees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Donetsk People's Republic, from where they are supposed to be taken to the city of Zaporozhzhya, territory under the control of Ukraine, accompanied by UN and Red Cross vehicles as well as Russian and Donetsk military.
Among those who came out are young children, elderly people, and wounded.
Ukraine has blamed the failure of numerous previous evacuation attempts on continued Russian shelling.
