Mariupol, May 2022. 5,660 structures in the Livoberezhnyi and Zhovtnevyi districts of Mariupol, each assessed from satellite imagery by UNOSAT after the siege. Every mark is one assessed structure at its true position; its mark shows the May assessment: 315 destroyed, 2,132 severely damaged, 3,002 moderately damaged, 194 possibly damaged, 17 impact craters. Together the marks draw the streets of the city. Use arrow keys to move from structure to structure, Enter to read the full record, or click any mark.
Two districts of Mariupol drawn only by the structures satellite analysts assessed after the siege, block after block. Most marks carry damage.
Every structure in UNOSAT’s damage assessment of the Livoberezhnyi and Zhovtnevyi districts of Mariupol, placed at its true position. No base map, no streets drawn in: the streets emerge from the assessed structures alone. Analysts compared WorldView imagery from 14 March 2022 with 7–12 May 2022; most of what you see was still standing and undamaged in March.
One mark = one assessed structure (or impact crater). Shape and value carry the 12 May 2022 grade: ■ destroyed (rust, filled) · ◆ severe damage (dark, filled) · ● moderate damage (half-tone) · ○ possible damage (open) · × impact crater (road or field). Position is geographic, not decorative. Nothing else is encoded.
5,660 records: 315 destroyed, 2,132 severe, 3,002 moderate, 194 possible, 17 impact craters, matching the counts UNOSAT publishes for this assessment (5,643 damaged structures, about 32% of the 17,594 in the area). Selecting a mark shows its full record: site type, district, March grade, May grade, the analyst’s change note, confidence, sensor and imagery dates.

Satellite assessment sees visible damage only: interiors, and harm without a roof or wall sign, are not in these marks. The assessment covers two districts of Mariupol, not the whole city. Records carry UNOSAT’s own “not yet field validated” note. This piece shows buildings; it does not show the people who lived in them.
