Dozens of Ukrainians are feared dead after a Russian bomb flattened a school sheltering about 90 people in its basement, while Ukrainian fighters held out at the battered Mariupol steel plant as Moscow’s forces rushed to seize it ahead of Russia’s Victory Day holiday.

The governor of Luhansk province, part of the eastern industrial heartland known as the Donbas, said emergency crews had found two bodies and rescued 30 people at the school in the village of Bilohorivka after Saturday’s bombing.
