At the moment, the number of victims is not yet known. A parliamentarian in the besieged city, Serhiy Taruta, reported that fierce fighting is underway in Mariupol and no one can reach the bombed theater. “We don’t know if there are survivors. And the worst part is, we couldn’t get them out from under the rubble. Many Mariupol residents hid in the theater with small children “he said.
