Not just any apartment complex, but the 9-story apartment complex with multiple entrances and many dozens of apartments, where I lived for close to 2 months between September and December of 2024.
19th of February has seen 3 sites of destruction by guided aerial bombs. While this is a frequent experience in Kherson, it hit way too close to home (literally), albeit not the one where I live any longer. The area I still visit for a health clinic nearby and some of my favorite Kherson sites.
My apartment was not in this specific part of the complex, but this reminds me that it’s not safe anywhere near the frontline. It is known about five injured, of them two are 13-year-old twins, whose mother’ is still’s body was found under the rubble 16+ hours after the airstrike. The attempts of emergency services to get to the survivors have been interrupted by additional Russian attacks
Russia has started this war against Ukrainian civilians, and the only peace is through full Russian withdrawal of its troops from Ukrainian territory. There’s been too much pain and destruction already.
