Two powerful bombs rock Ukraine's Mariupol amid rescue efforts

Kyiv/IBNS: Two superpowerful bombs rocked Mariupol in Ukraine as authorities made a fresh attempt at rescuing civilians from the besieged port city which has suffered innumerable shelling since Russia's invasion, media reports said on Tuesday.

More than 200,000 people are trapped in the city.

"We know that there will not be enough space for everyone" on Tuesday, but "we will try to carry out the evacuation until we have gotten all the inhabitants of Mariupol out," said Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk in a video address.

Two "super-powerful bombs" rocked the city even as rescue efforts were ongoing, Mariupol local authorities told media.

"It is clear that the occupiers are not interested in the city of Mariupol, they want to raze it to the ground, to reduce it to ashes," the authorities said.

Meanwhile, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has turned to Pope Francis for help, urging him to mediate in the conflict so he could end "human suffering".

Earlier, Zelensky said all issues would be on the table if Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to direct talks to end the war.

However, he warned that his country would be "destroyed" before it surrenders.

The Kremlin on the other hand said it would like to see negotiations with Kyiv to be "more active and substantial".
