Russian forces have destroyed a theatre in Mariupol where hundreds of people were sheltering, Ukrainian authorities said, even as the two sides projected optimism over efforts to negotiate an end to the fighting.
Many people were buried in the rubble, the statement said, though there was no immediate word on how many had been killed or injured. Satellite imagery showed the word "children" painted in Russian in front of and behind the building prior to the bombing.
