A resident of the damaged house, Oleksiy, told Suspilny correspondents that at about 2 a.m. he heard a loud explosion, and then glass flew and the door slammed.
“Glass from the windows flew all over the room, so I got up and started cleaning,” the man said.
The couple Yuriy and Olha told Suspilny that the windows in all the rooms of their apartment were broken, and the blast wave also hit a car parked in the yard of the house.
“We are safe, but the car is completely out of order, damaged by the blast wave, they say it can't be restored… And these were our legs, we took it to the store, to the clinic, to the hospital, because the woman has sore legs… Now we are trying to get things out of the car, the door is blocked… We thank Putin for freeing us from the apartment and the car,” says Yuriy.
