The prosecutor's office clarified that the strikes were carried out by three unmanned aerial vehicles, previously of the Geran-2 type. The second floor collapsed completely due to the impact. There were 48 children in the kindergarten at the time of the attack, who were in the shelter with their teachers. As soon as the rescuers reached the basement, all the children were evacuated. The prosecutor's office opened a criminal case for the commission of a war crime that caused the death of a person.
A 42-year-old employee of the communal service died as a result of the flight. Meanwhile, the mass media circulated a frame where a man carries a child out of a destroyed kindergarten. In the photo of the State Emergency Service is Major General Oleksandr Volobuev, who headed the Main Department of the State Emergency Service of the Kharkiv region from 2015 to May 2023 and received about 20 awards for his service. "I am not surprised by this photo.
I knew and respected him long before he became a general," Yuriy Chevordov, ex-advisor of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, wrote on Facebook. For his part, the head of the police of the Kharkiv region Petro Tokar called on the world community to react to yet another cynical act of terror by the Russian Federation. "There are no words that could convey the pain after enemy Russian "shaheeds" fell into a kindergarten in Kharkiv.
This is a crime against innocent children, against life itself. The cries of little children, little angels who came under fire, should be heard all over the world. These are not just sounds of fear, they are evidence of the cruelty that Russia is perpetrating against the Ukrainian people," he said in his message. On behalf of all law enforcement officers, he condemned the Russian aggression and called on everyone to hold their front, work, fight, help to protect the state, identity and future.
"We pray for the children, their parents, all Kharkiv residents who survived another act of terror today. We ask the international community not to remain silent. Pay maximum attention to the tragedy that happened in Kharkiv. This is yet another proof that evil has no limits if it is not stopped," Tokar stressed. We will remind you that the Russian Armed Forces massively attacked Ukraine with missiles and drones on October 22. Explosions thundered in a number of regions.
