What Kyiv residents say

One of the residents of the building, Hanna, which was damaged as a result of the Russian strike on Kyiv, said that everything started around midnight.

"There were explosions starting from around one o’clock. We heard them, but we no longer go to the bomb shelter because we just don’t have the strength," she said.

A powerful explosion occurred at about 3:30. According to her, her husband heard the characteristic sound of a Shahed-type drone. Later, the blast wave shattered all the windows in their apartment. Hanna emphasized that they survived by miracle.

"We immediately packed up. Our emergency bags were in the closet. We took everything and went outside because we were afraid that the gas might explode. When we went out, we saw the ninth floor burning, the eighth floor burning, and the seventh. I don’t know where it hit, but we understand it was a Shahed," she said.

Neighbors came out in an organized manner, without panic. Firefighters and medics arrived very quickly.

The resident noted that she does not remember such a powerful attack. According to her, about 20 buildings were affected.

Hanna shared that she does not plan to leave Kyiv. She will file a report about the damage and will restore her home. She added that she and her family will temporarily move in with friends because it is very cold in the apartment.
