Russian forces pounding the port city of Mariupol shelled a mosque sheltering more than 80 people, including children, the Ukrainian government said Saturday as fighting also raged on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv.
There was no immediate word of casualties from the shelling of the mosque. Mariupol has seen some of the greatest misery from Russia's war in Ukraine as unceasing barrages have thwarted repeated attempts to bring in food and water and to evacuate trapped civilians.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Turkey said that a group of 86 Turkish nationals, including 34 children, were among the people who had sought safety in the mosque of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and his wife Roksolana.

An action some here will no doubt cheer on the chance that we’re at least a few Muslims inside when the rounds hit

I believe it’s safe to say that Russian forces are no longer even attempting precision fires against legitimate military targets and have shifted entirely to indiscriminate bombing and artillery strikes. A Ukrainian news site compiled photos from numerous cities comparing how numerous buildings looked eleven days ago with how they look now. Mariupol is a key port of strategic significance on the Black Sea.
