Azovstal aerials show people carried on stretchers

STORY: Kyiv said on Tuesday it had ordered its full garrison to evacuate, bringing an apparent end to the bloodiest battle in Europe for decades.

Reuters saw buses leave the steelworks overnight and five of them arrive in the Russian-held town of Novoazovsk, where Moscow said the wounded would be treated.

Russia said at least 256 Ukrainian fighters had "laid down their arms and surrendered," including 51 severely wounded. Ukraine said 264 soldiers, including 53 wounded, had left.
