The Russian military has been besieging Mariupol for a week now, pounding the city with barrages of missiles and artillery. These weapons are hitting civilian as well as military targets; for example, one of Mariupol's maternity hospitals was destroyed on Wednesday ,New satellite imagery gives a sense of how widespread the destruction is in Mariupol, which had a population around 500,000 before the invasion began.
The photos, captured on Wednesday morning by Maxar Technologies' WorldView-3 spacecraft, depict extensive damage"to the civilian infrastructure in and around the city, including residential homes, high-rise apartment buildings, grocery stores and shopping centers," a public relations company that represents Virginia-based Maxar wrote in an emailed statement about the imagery.
On Wednesday, Maxar's WorldView-2 satellite also captured a view of the maternity hospital before it was destroyed — a"before" image that can be compared, in the not-too-distant future, to a grim"after" photo of the leveled building. Maxar's satellites have been monitoring the invasion in other parts of Ukraine as well.
