A resident of one of the houses, Artem, said that his neighbor was wounded during the shelling, who was trying to take his own children to a safer place.

«When there were the first blows, the children were sleeping here, on a bunk bed. His wife told him to take the children, because if the ceiling falls, it will fall on them. He came to pick up the younger one and there was an explosion, he was injured. Then they went out and waited at the neighbor's until the air alarm was over,» says Artem, a resident of the neighboring house.

Another man, Yurii, shared that one of the flights happened in the center of a private yard, due to which his neighbors were buried under the rubble.
