News about Russian bombings in Ukraine has had this Thursday, on the twenty-second day of invasion, an increase in the death toll in the country.
The biggest bloodbath in the last few hours occurred in Chernihiv. There, authorities reported that 53 bodies arrived at the morgue due to the bombing in the north of the country.
Chernihiv, near the borders with Belarus and Russia, was one of the first Ukrainian cities to be attacked by Russian forces at the start of the invasion three weeks ago.
“The enemy is exposing the city to systemic artillery and air strikes, destroying Chernihiv's civilian infrastructure,” Viacheslav Chaus, head of the region's State Administration, reported in a Facebook message.
Meanwhile, at least 21 people were killed and 25 injured on Thursday in a Russian bombing on the eastern Ukrainian city of Merefa, the regional prosecutor's office reported.
Artillery shots hit a school and a cultural center on Thursday morning in that town, outside Kharkiv, the Prosecutor's Office announced on Facebook. Ten of the wounded are serious.
In the capital, Kiev, a building in the Darnytsky district was badly damaged, which, according to the authorities, were remnants of a missile shot down early in the morning, leaving at least one dead and three injured.
While residents were cleaning the windows and carrying bags with their belongings, a man knelt crying next to the body of a woman lying near a door, covered with a bloody sheet.
The population of the capital is sheltered in homes and shelters in the face of the Russian offensive. One person was killed and at least three were injured when an apartment building in central Kiev burned down by the remains of a downed Russian rocket, according to emergency services. Firefighters evacuated 30 people from the upper floors of the 16-storey building and put out the fire within an hour.
The encouraging news came in Mariupol, which on the eve was in shock after the attack on a theater that served as a refuge for at least 1,000 people, according to local authorities.
The survivors began to emerge from the rubble that blocked the entrance, with the help of rescuers. Miraculously, the shelter was still standing. “The building withstood the impact of a high-powered aerial bomb and protected the lives of people hidden in the bomb shelter,” Ombudsman Ludmyla Denisova said on the Telegram messaging app.
Denisova and MP Sergiy Taruta said that some survivors had left. “People come out alive,” Taruta wrote on Facebook, without giving any figures. It was not known whether there were any injuries or deaths among the people inside. Legislator Lesia Vasylenko, a member of a delegation in London, said there were reports of injuries but not deaths.
At least since Monday, on the pavement outside the elegant theater there were large letters that formed the word “CHILDREN” in Russian, according to the images distributed by the space technology company Maxar.
