During the nighttime attack on Kyiv, missiles flew over St. Sophia Cathedral
The National Museum "Chernobyl" in Podil was damaged during a Russian nighttime attack on Kyiv; the strike was captured on video.
This was reported by Yaroslav Yemelianenko, head of the Association of Chernobyl Operators.
According to him, at around 3:50 a.m., two Russian missiles flew over St. Sophia Cathedral toward Podil, after which one of them struck the museum building.
The strike caused the roof to catch fire and destroyed part of the rear wall of one of the halls. The newly renovated exhibition, which had opened just a month ago following restoration, sustained significant damage.
Some of the museum’s exhibits were saved, but some artifacts were damaged or lost. Museum staff continue to clean up the aftermath.
