this theater in the center of Mariupol was severely damaged by an airstrike on March 16.
The entrance to the theatre, where hundreds of people mostly women, children and the elderly had taken refuge, according to municipal authorities, was blocked by debris and rescue operations were complicated by incessant bombardment.
Russia's Defense Ministry had denied that it had "hit" the theater, however this does not appear to be matched by images released from besieged Mariupol.
