"I woke up from being thrown somewhere”: Residents of the attacked house in Dnipro shared their experiences

In Dnipro, residents of the multi-story building damaged by a Russian drone shared their experience of the night attack. People heard the explosion and saw the flash, at which point one of the women was thrown out of bed.

This is stated in a video published by Head of Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration Serhiy Lysak.

The residents of the house in Dnipro, struck by the drone, are holding on with all their might, but tears are welling up in their eyes.

Some residents of the high-rise building became numb after that, others rushed to check whether the children were safe.

Ms. Alla - the head of the local condominium - was simply thrown out of bed in her apartment on the ninth floor. This floor was completely destroyed. From the ruins that remained of the house, the woman got out through the nearby entrance. Although Alla lost her home and received cuts on her face, she is most worried about her neighbors - a man and a woman who have not yet been found.

"I'm on the 9th floor. Apartments 72 and 71 are gone. I woke up from being thrown somewhere. Bricks were all around. It was terrifying; wires were torn apart. We got out. Our neighbors from 71 got out too. Their father is a diabetic. He's missing. We don't know, he might be somewhere under the rubble. They got out saving themselves, despite both of them needing assistance," Alla recounted.

She added that rescuers have not yet been able to find a resident of the eighth floor who was sleeping in the living room, which now has a hole in it.

Another resident of the house, Victoria, shared her experience and said that she did not immediately understand what had happened.

"My child jumped up, and of course, I covered her with a blanket right away, approached her and hugged her. Because I didn't understand right away... I thought, there was an impact somewhere. But it all happened to us," the woman said.

Another resident of the building, Natalia, with tears in her eyes, recounted that her entire apartment immediately filled with smoke.

"There was acrid smoke because everything was burning in the yard. But we have to live. Life goes on. Soldiers are defending us, everything will be fine. Definitely," the woman said with conviction.
