#2 "The enemy is trying to storm the Azovstal plant with significant forces using armored vehicles,"

Color me skeptical. I don't doubt there is shelling and armor and fighting to keep the defenders bottled up, but there is no sense in storming an impregnable fortress when you can use the troops elsewhere.

Seen elsewhere: the defenders emerged and took up fighting positions which drew the predicable response from the attackers, hence the report of 'storming'
