Survived another hit. A resident of the affected building in Kharkiv shared her story.
The Russian army launched an attack on Kharkiv on the night of June 5. This time one of the drones hit the 17th floor of a building that had already been shelled by Russian forces. This was reported by 'Glavkom' citing 'Suspilne'.
The drone hit the apartment of Anastasia Melechenko's neighbors. Her husband, a rescuer, was on a business trip during the attack. At that moment, the woman was at home with her daughter and their dog Pufik.
'My 14-year-old daughter and I managed to run into the stairwell. I heard the sound of the 'Shahed' - an explosion, smoke, and the ceiling collapsed. The child has a sharp reaction to stress; her friends came to support her, and that was it – we were all fine. After the first explosion, we were asleep, and then we managed to run into the stairwell; a second explosion occurred – the drone hit the building,' she said.
Anastasia said that repairs in her apartment only began yesterday after the previous shelling in the fall. Other cities across Ukraine have also suffered from attacks by Russian drones. At the same time, a large-scale attack occurred in the Pryluky district of the Chernihiv region. There were reports of casualties and injuries, with those affected receiving medical assistance in hospitals.
As a result, Russian aggression continues to impose terror on the civilian population not only in Kharkiv but also in areas across Ukraine, carrying out a series of attacks using drones and heavy weaponry.
