Ukraine fears 300 people were killed in Mariupol theatre bombed by Russia as families sheltered
The Independent says Ukraine fears around 300 people were killed in the Mariupol theatre bombing earlier this month.
Russian forces dropped a bomb on the theatre where more than 1,000 civilians – including women and children – were said to be sheltering in the besieged city on March 16, local officials said.
It has taken several days for details on the suspected death toll to emerge.
But this morning the city council posted on Telegram: “Unfortunately, we start this day with bad news.
“From eyewitnesses, information appeared that about 300 people died in the drama theatre of Mariupol as a result of a bombardment by a Russian aircraft.”
