Trees were burning, cars were exploding: a resident of Pervomaysky miraculously survived after the Russian attack

After the Russian attack on Pervomaisky in Kharkiv Region, the number of injured residents is increasing. People are shocked, because the town was considered relatively safe.

Anna Chernenko, a correspondent from Kharkiv, told about it. There are also children among the injured as a result of Russian shelling.

The number of victims is increasing.

As of 18:24, the number of victims has increased to 43. Among them are 12 children. Fortunately, the condition of the 10-month-old baby was stabilized. Other children have light shrapnel injuries, bruises and scratches.

“Black flames – trees were burning, cars were exploding. It was scary, very scary,” shared local resident Lyubov.

The woman miraculously survived. She just went outside and heard the sound of a rocket. It flew into her yard.
