Children trapped under rubble during enemy shelling in Zaporizhzhia region

Two children were trapped under rubble, as Russian troops launched a missile attack on the Zaporizhzhia region. They were rescued and taken to hospital.

The relevant statement was made by Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Adminstration Head Oleksandr Starukh on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Today the enemy has decided to bury two boys. Alive. The missile struck their house. They withstood, but the wall did not. Two heroes, aged 3 and 15. They survived, where stone was unable to endure. They will live, because they have to. They will win,” Starukh wrote.

According to Suspilne Zaporizhzhia, the incident took place in the Komyshuvakha community’s village of Mahdalynivka.

Children received minor injuries and were taken to Zaporizhzhia Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital.

A reminder that, in the morning of December 22, 2022, Russian troops struck the Zaporizhzhia region’s Komyshuvakha with cluster munitions.
