- Attack on Kharkiv: gruesome details of the death of a large family


In Kharkiv, an attack by enemy drones caused a fire in which a large family died. The parents and three children were burned alive.
This was reported by the head of the Investigation Department of the Kharkiv region police, Serhiy Bolvinov.
According to him, the body and cysts of the youngest ten-month-old boy were burnt so much that they almost turned into ashes.
It is impossible to establish the infant's body on the spot. The burning temperature was such that the infant's bones and body turned almost into ashes. A forensic medical expert is on the spot," Bolvinov said.
To form the final conclusions will be conducted DNA - expertise.
The police said that the oldest child - Lesha was 7 years old, the middle child Mikhail was 4 years old and the youngest Pavel was 10 months old.
During the air raid, the children and their parents hid in the basement. But when a fire started in the yard and the family ran to hide - two cars and fuel were already burning at home. The family of five was trapped.
It was preliminarily established that the oldest and youngest boys were near their mother. And the middle one, Mikhail, was always running after his dad. The man probably passed out first, and the little one - crammed into a corner, himself in the kitchen. That's where we found him," Bolvinov said.
The mother with two other sons found in the bathroom - the woman held the children in her arms, holding them to her chest.
