dailyoverview: With many recent news headlines focused on the destruction of Ukraine’s Mariupol Theater, we wanted to wait until we had imagery of the location both before and after the event to better understand the scale of the destruction that took place there.The Donetsk Regional Drama Theatre in Mariupol, Ukraine was bombed by the Russian Armed Forces on March 16. At the time, the theater was being used as an air raid shelter for an estimated 1,300 people. It is still unclear how many people were trapped or killed in the attack. In the first frame here with the theater’s red roof still intact, the word “Children” can be seen written in large Cyrillic letters outside the building, raising even more fear that many families were sheltering there during the attack. Mariupol, the tenth-largest city in Ukraine, has been besieged since February 24th.47.096111°, 37.548611°Source imagery: Maxar -- source link
