She had been in her third-floor apartment when the missiles struck.
A 30-year-old technology worker named Oleksandr said his mother was among those injured in the explosion.Although the home he shares with his mother is now shattered, he says he doesn’t plan to leave the neighborhood. Russia has repeatedly claimed that it is hitting only targets of military value in the war. There was no comment on Chasiv Yar at a Russian Defense Ministry briefing on Sunday.
