(ANSA-AFP) - KYIV, MAR 20 - Ukrainian authorities on Sunday
accused Russian forces of bombing a school in the besieged city
of Mariupol where some 400 people, including women and children
had been sheltering, and of deporting some residents to Russia.
Mariupol has been one of the main targets of Moscow's attacks.
Russian shelling has hammered the eastern Ukrainian port for days, and the city has seen a near total communication blackout.
"Yesterday, the Russian occupiers dropped bombs on an art school No 12," the city council said on messaging app Telegram on Sunday, adding that around 400 women, children and elderly people had been sheltering there from bombardments. The building, which is located in the east of the city, had been destroyed, the council said in a statement. "Peaceful civilians are still under the rubble," it added. (ANSA-AFP).
