The number of graves at Mariupol's Starokrymske cemetery on the western side of the city has significantly expanded, according to new satellite imagery published by U.S. satellite imagery company Maxar.
The company published two satellite images of the cemetery side by side, one from March 29 and the other from Nov. 30, which shows a large addition to the number of grave sites.

Russia's months-long siege of the now-Russian-occupied southeastern city reduced the once vibrant port city into a landscape of rubble. Over 20,000 people are believed to have been killed during the siege, but the actual number could be much higher, according to the Mariupol City Council.
