Twenty-one people have been killed by Russian attack that destroyed a school and a community centre in Merefa, near Kharkiv, AP reported.
Merefa Mayor Veniamin Sitov said the attack took place just before dawn on Thursday.
Hundreds of civilians are feared trapped inside a theatre which has been smashed by a Russian airstrike in the besieged city of Mariupol, Ukrainian officials said.
A photo released by Mariupol’s city council showed an entire section of the 3-story theatre — where the civilians had taken shelter — collapsed after the strike on Wednesday evening.
However, some hope emerged as one of the officials said some people had managed to survive the strike.
