Ukrainian Girl's Selfie Vid Interrupted By Russian Strike
Published 2 years ago
A Ukrainian girl taking a selfie video in Kyiv captured the moment a Russian cruise missile struck a short distance from her. The viewer can see a flash of light and some debris raining down on her, but in true teenage girl fashion, the camera lens stays trained on her and only her, so we don't actually see what was struck.
Russia carried out a massive, nationwide bombardment on Ukrainian targets using Kalibr cruise missiles and Iranian-made Shahed suicide drones. The attacks are retaliation for the Ukrainian sabotage operation that knocked out the Kerch bridge, which connects the Crimean peninsula to the Russian main land, a crucial logistics route for the Russian military.
Russia reportedly launched 83 missiles (and loiter munitions), of which 45 were intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses. The Russians targeted power plants and government buildings, as well as parks and cultural landmarks. The total death toll isn't clear at this time. The strikes hit across the entire country, as far west as Lviv.
