Some of the hundreds of people who had been sheltering in a Mariupol theater that Ukraine said was hit by a powerful Russian air strike are alive and are being rescued from the rubble, according to Ukrainian officials.

Sergei Orlov, the deputy mayor of Mariupol, told the BBC that “most” of what he estimated was between 1,000 and 1,200 people seeking refuge in the building had survived.
