Residents of the damaged building near the Mykolaiv Equator sports complex, which was hit by Russian drones at night, showed half-destroyed apartments.
The consequences of the attack were recorded by a correspondent of NikVesti.
The apartment of pensioner Halyna Heorhiivna was the most affected by the blast wave — ceilings fell in the rooms, windows and doors were broken. The entire floor was literally «shining» from the amount of broken glass and dishes.
In the room where the woman slept, the ceiling fell directly on her bed. Halyna Heorhiivna herself calls the fact that she survived a miracle.
«I miraculously survived here. And the window, and the TV on the floor, and my computer,» shows Halyna Heorhiivna.
A neighbor helped a woman and her husband take out all the garbage. The woman says that the utility workers brought building materials to sew up the windows so that they don't freeze at night.
«Fortunately, no one was hurt. Only an apartment. And what can we two crooked people do. Do you see that there is simply no one to even take out the garbage? They asked the boy to at least help us clean up a little here. The communal services came to us, they have to bring materials to sew up the windows, because we froze all night,» she says.
After showing the dilapidated apartment, Halyna Georgievna stopped for a minute and added in complete despair: «These were my dishes, things... And God be with them, who needs them already».
A woman Valentina lives on the floor below. For many years, she worked as a seller of fruits and vegetables at the Central Market of Mykolaiv.
It is not the first time that enemy arrivals find her in this house. Crying, the woman says: this is already her third birthday since the invasion.
«As soon as she heard the arrival, she ran to the bathroom. Then she came back and woke up her relative. And 10 minutes later, the second flight arrives. I shout to Natasha: «Run to the bathroom,» but she didn't even hear the explosion. We sat, heard everything. I don't even want to remember how it flew. It threw up all the chandeliers in all the rooms. These walls saved me. They used to be thin here, and when I did the repair, I inserted an additional stone. He saved me. It's our third birthday. Well, nothing, somehow we will slowly restore everything, thank God, even if only the survivors remained,» said Valentyna.
As of today, communal services continue to work at the scene: cleaning, removing garbage, sewing up windows.
