A strong battle broke out around the building and no one can access the area. Yesterday the number of victims was unknown and no other source has confirmed the extent of the bombing.
Serhiy Orlov, deputy mayor of Mariupol, assured that the attack was aerial and that between 1,000 and 1,200 people were refugees in the theater, most of them city residents.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba said the theater “is completely destroyed” and called the attack “another horrible war crime” by Russia.

The situation has been desperate for days in Mariupol, a strategic Ukrainian port city on the Sea of Azov whose capture is a priority for the Kremlin: it is between the annexed peninsula of Crimea and the separatist east of Donbass.
In Chernigov, in the north of the country, ten people waiting in line to buy bread were killed yesterday morning by a Russian shell, the country’s prosecutor’s office announced. The attack would have occurred at 10:00 (local time) and, according to the first balance, there would be ten dead civilians. The prosecution has opened an investigation for “premeditated deaths” committed by “firearms”.
The Russian army denies this bombing and attributes it to an act of “propaganda” by the Ukrainian government. The spokesman for the Russian army, Igor Konachenkov, assured that “no Russian military is in Chernigov (…) and no offensive has been launched.”
“Either all those killed are victims of the terror of Ukrainian nationalists, or it is a new machination of the Ukrainian security services,” Konachenkov said.
