Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that 130 people had been saved after the bombing of a theatre in the port city of Mariupol, besieged by Russian forces, but that "hundreds" were still trapped in rubble.

"More than 130 people have been saved. But hundreds of Mariupol residents are still beneath the rubble," Zelensky said in a video address on Facebook.

He promised to continue rescue operations in Mariupol "despite shelling" in the southern city that has suffered vast destruction.
