LVIV, Ukraine—Rescuers dug through the debris of a bombed theater in Mariupol where hundreds of Ukrainian civilians had sought shelter as Russian forces continued to shell the southern port city and other urban areas across the country.
The entrance to a bomb shelter under the theater in Mariupol was blocked when the building partially collapsed from a Russian airstrike late Wednesday night, said Pavlo Kyrylenko, head of military administration in the eastern region of Donetsk. Former governor Sergiy Taruta said on Thursday the shelter had remained intact and there were survivors.
