A theater where hundreds of people are said to have taken shelter in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol was mostly reduced to rubble on Wednesday, according to an image shared by its city council.
Mariupol City Council, who shared an image of the destroyed building, said Russian forces had "purposefully and cynically destroyed the Drama Theater in the heart of Mariupol."
"The plane dropped a bomb on a building where hundreds of peaceful Mariupol residents were hiding," it said.
