Buses are arriving to evacuate Nigerian and international students trapped in Sumy State University (SumDU) and other civilians in the Ukrainian city of Sumy.
This followed a ceasefire agreement between Ukraine and Russia for a humanitarian corridor to be opened in the beleaguered city.
The ceasefire, which is already underway, started at 10am on Tuesday and will end by 9pm.
It will allow civilians and all international students to flee through specified routes to the neighbouring state of Poltava.
