In the village of Pukhivka in the Kyiv region, Russian forces launched strikes with six attack drones against a single residential building. Three family members were killed in the attack, including a 4-year-old child.
The first drone struck the children’s room, where 4-year-old Dmytro was sleeping. The boy was killed. His grandmother and grandfather were also killed.
Fifteen-year-old Vova survived but suffered burns over about 50% of his body. His parents are also in the hospital with burns and injuries.
According to relatives, after the first strike, the family tried to dig themselves out from under the rubble, but Russian drones continued to arrive one after another. One family member said the drones were equipped with cameras and thermal imaging devices.
The Kucher family had been building their house on their own for ten years. According to relatives, they had only recently completed construction.
A 21-year-old neighbor also tried to help the family during the attack. He was injured but survived.
A fundraiser has now been launched to help the affected family. Anyone who wishes to do so can support the Kuchers financially. Even a small donation can help the family cope with the aftermath of the Russian attack.
As a reminder, Russia struck Derhachi and destroyed dormitories housing displaced persons.
In Dnipro on Friday, August 7, a World Health Organization humanitarian warehouse was destroyed as a result of the attack. There were no people on the premises at the time of the strike, and no casualties were reported.
