"It suddenly became bright, something caught fire on the roof," she says.The residents admit that they had never heard such a loud sound before. Some were even thrown out of their beds by the blast wave.

"Thank goodness we're all alive and well. As for the windows, well, we'll replace them," Anatoliy said.Olena, a neighbor, recounted how she woke up to the sound of glass shattering.

"Then I checked my blood pressure, it was 170 over 90. I took some pills, got dressed, and went to check on the others, asking: what was that, why did it happen, how did it happen?" she says.

Another resident, Nadia, acknowledged that living under such stress every day is impossible.
