It will be recalled that the Russian occupiers dropped a heavy bomb on the Mariupol Drama Theater, which became a shelter for about a thousand refugees who lost their homes. Azov fighters note that the aggressor doubtlessly knew that the drama theatre building has become a hiding place for hundreds of city residents who are left without a roof over their heads and livelihoods.

The private American company Maxar Technologies has released satellite images showing that on the ground near the Drama Theater in Mariupol, where the Russian military dropped a bomb on March 16, there were large inscriptions «Children» in Russian.
