The fate of hundreds of Ukrainians who were sheltering in a Mariupol theater bombed by Russian forces was still unknown, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a televised address late Wednesday.
The latest: Over 1,000 people were believed to have taken refuge in the shelter when it was hit earlier Wednesday, the Mariupol City Council said on Telegram. An official in the city's mayor's office told Reuters Thursday that the shelter under withstood the strike and said there are survivors still trapped in it.
