Russia unleashed what is believed to have been the deadliest attack on Ukrainian civilians in months on Friday, killing at least 22 people in an early-morning missile strike on an apartment block in the city of Uman
The attack, which drew international condemnation, came around 4 a.m. local time, when a barrage of long-range cruise missiles was launched from Russian aircraft in the Caspian Sea area, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Twenty-one of the twenty-three missiles were intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses, it claimed. But missiles hit the central Ukrainian cities of Uman, in the Cherkasy region, and Dnipro.
When she heard the building had been hit, Liuda rushed there to find that her friend had survived, but her friend’s husband had been hospitalized and their two daughters, aged 7 and 13, were still missing. A woman named Arina, who lives on the ninth floor of an apartment building next to the one that collapsed, told CNN how she immediately threw her son and daughter into the bathroom and covered them with pillows when the attack happened.
