Ukrainian officials have said Russian forces have launched an all-out assault on the Azovstal steelworks, the last Ukrainian holdout in the besieged port city of Mariupol.
Ukrainian forces inside the plant have been fighting "difficult bloody battles" for a second day, the commander of the Azov regiment said.
Russian forces are reported to have entered "the territory of the plant" after days of sustained attacks.
About 200 civilians are believed to be sheltering inside, including children.
The BBC has not been able to verify the reports of the Russian attack on the steel plant.
