A Russian missile strike in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region has killed ten members of a single family, leaving only three survivors. The attack occurred in the village of Radushne while the family was asleep.
Danylo Voronov, a soldier serving on the front lines, returned to find his home destroyed. The victims included his mother Olena, 41, her husband Artem, 47, three sons – Mark, 17, Zakharii, 13, and Azarii Ilai, 11 – and four daughters, Dominika, 16, Viorika, 14, Federika, nine, and Emilia, seven. Also killed was an 18-month-old grandson, Artem.
Voronov, his wife Anna, and his brother Matvii, who was not present at the time of the attack, are the sole survivors from the family gathering captured in a wedding photo taken a year prior. Voronov's sister Inna, who resides in Germany, also survived.
Among the debris, personal items such as cuddly toys, a scrapbook of family photos, and children's artwork were recovered. Voronov's aunt, Olena Chorna, described the devastating loss, stating that ten family members, eight of them children, would be buried.
She expressed strong condemnation of the attack, calling those responsible "terrorists." The strike on the Voronov home was part of a wider overnight bombardment across Ukraine by Russia, which also resulted in at least 50 injuries.
President Volodymyr Zelensky, born in the nearby city of Kryvyi Rih, denounced the incident as a "horrific crime," emphasizing that the Russians had destroyed an ordinary home and an ordinary family.
