Russians hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv. 48 children were saved

Russian occupants attacked Kharkiv, three explosions were recorded. A utility worker who was cleaning the street at the time of the blast was killed. Five utility workers and a woman sitting in a parked car nearby were wounded.

Details of the Russian attack were reported by the mayor of Kharkiv Igor Terekhov.

In the morning, three "shaheddas" hit right into the building where a private kindergarten worked. From the force of the blows the first floor was completely folded. Fortunately, the educators managed in time to lower the kids to the shelter in the same room. And as soon as the rescuers reached the basement, all 48 children were evacuated. But the horror that we all experienced - and especially the parents - in a few minutes, while no one knew if everyone was alive, will remain in memory forever, - wrote Igor Terekhov.

In Kharkiv, six buildings - shops, offices, business premises - were damaged, civilian cars were burned, and the contact network was severed. Terekhov said that rescuers, law enforcers, medics, all city services and representatives of humanitarian organisations are working on the site.

Terekhov stressed that it is necessary to ensure the safety of children by starting to build kindergartens underground in Kharkiv.

I have repeatedly said and I repeat: it is necessary to build real certified kindergartens underground in Kharkiv. The safety of children should be guaranteed, and not rely on luck, - said the local head.

Rescuers and police officers carried children in their arms after the Russian strike on the kindergarten. Forty-eight little ones were evacuated.
