Forensic reconstruction shows impact of Russia's bombing of Mariupol theater | DW News

A new investigation is shedding light on what happened one year ago today in Ukraine when a Russian airstike destroyed the Drama Theater in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol. Hundreds of people were killed - including children. The theater had served as the city's main bomb shelter during Russia's relentless assault on Mariupol last spring. Satellite imagery from before airstrike shows the Russian word for 'children' written around the building. It's unknown exactly how many died. But many people were pinned under rubble and the city fell to Russian forces soon afterwards. It's thought to be the deadliest single attack against civilians in the war so far. Now investigators are using innovative techniques to create a picture of what life was like inside the theater - before the bombing.
