It is still not clear how many people survived an attack on a theater in the city on Wednesday.
A satellite image released Saturday showed two thirds of the building – also being used as a shelter – had been completely destroyed.
The theater was clearly marked with the word "children" in large Russian writing visible from the air. Estimates of how many people were inside at the time of the attack range from 800 to 1,300.
