New satellite imagery, alongside video and photos verified by The Post, shows destruction in Mariupol's city center, including severe damage to the Mariupol Drama Theater.
These images provided by Maxar shows the Mariupol Drama Theater on March 14, left and on March 19, right. The word "children" is written in large white letters in front of and behind the theater. during Russian shelling this week. The image, which was provided to The Washington Post by Maxar Technologies, shows more than half the roof collapsed. The remaining portion is mangled, buckling inward.
Hundreds of women, families with young children and the elderly had sought shelter in the theater this week, according to local officials. The Post was not able to verify that account. Little independent reporting is available from the besieged city. Internet access is scarce, if available at all, and many reporters and photographers covering Mariupol have left the city because of safety concerns.
“It is unlawful to target civilians, so intentionally targeting a shelter where civilians are known or believed to be located would clearly be a violation of international humanitarian law and therefore a war crime,” Oona A. Hathaway, a professor of international law at Yale Law School, said in an email to The Post after reviewing the images.
“The fact that the theater was clearly marked with the word ‘children’ when it was hit makes it more likely that this strike on the civilians sheltered there was intentional — and therefore a war crime,” she said.
