When the shelling began, a young family was walking in the street: a wife and a man with a 5-month-old baby in their arms. The man died immediately, the woman was hospitalized in serious condition. Police later found the child’s body. The baby was thrown up on the roof of the entrance by the explosive wave from the father’s hands…
As a result of today’s shelling, 8 Kharkiv residents were killed. Another 17 were injured. Once again, Ukrainian families have been orphaned by hated Russian invaders.
