Granny who survived World War II killed by the russians during the bombing of Kharkiv
rashists hit Ukraine's second-largest city with rocket-propelled grenade launchers
At least 15 people have been killed and 16 wounded in the Kharkiv region after a missile attack by russian troops on Tuesday, with new casualties reported at night and Wednesday morning, Sky News reports.
The strikes on Kharkiv started on Tuesday and continued on Wednesday morning and were the worst for weeks. Earlier some “semblance of normality” had been returning after russian forces were pushed back in a counter-offensive last month.
“It was shelling by russian troops. It was probably multiple rocket launchers,” Kharkiv prosecutor Mikhailo Martosh told Reuters.
Medical workers took away the body of 85-year-old Raisa Kozakova out of the rubble of a burnt-out garage and into a nearby van.
“She was 85 years old. A child of the war (Second World War – ed.). She survived one war, but didn't make it through this one,” said her grandson Mykyta.
“There is nowhere to flee to. Especially grandmother herself, she didn't want to go anywhere from here,” he said.
