Lviv, Ukraine(CNN)A theater where hundreds of people had taken shelter in Mariupol was bombed on Wednesday, according to local authorities, as hundreds of thousands of people remain trapped in the coastal Ukrainian city that has been encircled for weeks by Russian forces.
Mariupol City Council, who shared an image of the destroyed building, said Russian forces had "purposefully and cynically destroyed the Drama Theater in the heart of Mariupol."
"The plane dropped a bomb on a building where hundreds of peaceful Mariupol residents were hiding," it said.
CNN has geolocated the image and confirmed it is of the theater in the southeastern port city. The word "children" was spelled out on two sides of the theater before it was bombed, according to satellite images.

No Fly Zone didn't work. Drone over Poland didn't work. Bombarding civilian populations didn't work. Taking out the peace center on the Polish Border didn't work. Shooting at evacuees didn't work.
Ukraine is the mass murderer's "diversion." His real "mission" is to get NATO to attack so he can split the alliance, attack Eastern Europe, vindicate himself to his subjects, show his allies that the "tough guy" will protect them against the "evil Western Alliance."
This is how sick this madman truly is. This is all a demented game of blood soaked chess to this nut job.
Thank goodness we have a leader who is not falling into the trap.
That is why experience matters...
Thank you President Biden!
