STORY: In footage provided by Suyeong-gu office of Busan, hundreds of drones flew in formation of Ukrainian flags and peace messages, such as the depiction of a dove or "No War" slogans at Gwangalli Beach. A total of 500 drones were used for the show on Saturday (April 2).

Ukraine was trying to evacuate as many trapped civilians as possible on Thursday as Russian forces pounded cities and towns in the east and south of the country.

Mariupol has been under siege for most of the war. At least 160,000 civilians are trapped without power and with little food or running water, according to Mayor Vadym Boychenko, who puts the civilian death toll in the city at about 5,000. Russia denies targeting civilians and calls its actions in Ukraine a "special military operation".
