Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that 10-year-old boy who was killed by Russia, was probably asleep during the strike – his body was found wrapped in a blanket in Kharkiv.
A child’s body wrapped in a blanket. He was murdered this morning in Kharkiv by a russian missile. The boy was apparently sleeping. The Iskander is a russian ballistic missile that can reach Kharkiv, Ukraine’s border city, in just a few seconds.
Associated Press reporters saw emergency crews pulling the boy’s body from the rubble of a building after the early morning attack. He was wearing pajamas with a Spider-Man design.
The strike also killed the boy’s grandmother and injured an 11-month-old child, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has deployed a field team to probe one of the deadliest attacks in the war in months.
Russia’s air forces targeted a cafe and shop in Hroza in eastern Ukraine, top Ukrainian and other officials said, killing at least 51 civilians.
Around 60 people, including children, were attending a wake at the cafe when the missile hit, Ukrainian officials said.
“It is very difficult to establish with absolute certainty what happened, but given the location, given the fact that the cafe was struck, the indications are that it was a Russian missile,” Elizabeth Throssell, OHCHR’s spokesperson told reporters in Geneva.
The air force of Ukraine on Friday (Oct 6) claimed that it has downed 25 of 33 Russian attack drones launched overnight across the region.
On the messaging platform Telegram, the Air Force said that they shot down 25 Shahed 131 and 136 drones in six regions including Odesa, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Dnipro. It did not clarify which targets were struck by eight other drones.
