We waited for the third, all the rescuers said there would be another flight and we all hid. We climbed into the cellar. You see, the glass is all broken. The roofs were all damaged, the gas was burning there, the cars were on fire. All the neighbors' roofs and windows are all broken. This is what they did to us,» said Liudmila Viktorivna.
