A Mariupol Theater Survivor Describes Attack That Buried Her Daughter in Rubble, and Killed Up to 300 People
With freezing cold temperatures, Dubovitskiy took daughter Anastasia, 2, and son Artem, 6, there to be warm on Mar. 5—alongside hundreds of other residents. To alert Russian troops that the theater was being used to house families, the word “CHILDREN” was painted outside, in white letters big enough to be seen from the air.
Then, suddenly, a blast hit the theater. “There was an explosion, a wave,” says Dubovitskiy. The blast knocked her across their room, and collapsed a wall onto Anastasia’s bed: “I touched the bed where she was sleeping, and I could not find her,” she says. “There was only rubble.”
