Survivors have begun to emerge as authorities work to rescue hundreds of civilians trapped in the basement of a theatre blasted by Russian air strikes in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol, the local governor said.
The strikes the previous evening had left a large section of the grand, three-storey theatre building in the centre of Mariupol collapsed in a smoking ruin, according to photos released by the city council.
