Video footage from Russian tanks inside the city of Mariupol shows them allegedly firing at residential buildings inside they city.

The tanks are seen operating in the streets of Mariupol and shells hiting a residential area of the town.

It is unclear if Ukrainian forces took positions there or if the hits occured by mere guess.

While the quality of the footage is not perfect from what we see we have to say that it is possible that the alleged claims are in fact correct.

Russia currently pushes hard to take the city that is a heavily contested battlefield since the beginning of the war.
