Reports are coming in of a massive explosion at a housing complex in Mariupol, described by a member of the Jewish community there as a cluster bomb.
An eyewitness reports that a Jewish woman out walking her dog is believed to have lost a leg in the explosion and has been taken to hospital. Two nine-story buildings are damaged as well as numerous cars.
Communications with civilians in the city are hampered by the fact that there has been no electricity in Mariupol since last night and phone lines have been spotty, reports a member of the Jewish community.
