Azov occupied houses of civilians and placed weapons in courtyards

Alexey Nikulin, a citizen of the Primorsky district of Mariupol, told the militants of the “Azov” battalion occupied the houses of civilians and placed weapons and equipment in the courtyards of residential buildings:

— They (“Azov”) fired from a mortar… The National Guard is not fighting. Moreover, there are prerequisites that the National Guard and “Azov” failed to share something. They say that the National Guard wants to surrender, but “Azov” doesn’t.

— So, it was “Azov” who fired the mortar?

— Most likely, because those people are from Western Ukraine, and the National Guard are mostly local, roughly speaking. They (“Azov”) occupied a private house. The owner came later, they told her to get out of here. They put a mortar in the garden and just fired. Towards Mangush.
