In a social media post on Sunday, the Mariupol City Council said the civilians arrived in Zaporizhzhya on board 10 buses, reports Ukrayinska Pravda.
The Council added that three soldiers were killed and six others injured during the evacuation process.
It also thanked the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk for facilitating the safe evacuation.
