 The Russians hit an oil depot by "Shahed" drones. The attack was at night, at about 3 am. A pillar of smoke was visible this morning. At first, I thought that the hit was on the outskirts of Dubno, in the Czech Straklov, but people say that it was the oil depot in the village of Buscha which was completely destroyed. Smoke from the fire could be seen even in Rivne.

    The UNICEF children's fund called the photo "Under the dark clouds of war" the photo of 2023. This is a story by the Pole Patrik Jaracz, made the day after the Russian Shahed attack on the oil depot. In the photo, five-year-old Alina is learning to ride a bicycle, black smoke rises in the background.
The photo symbolizes the light of children's resilience and joy breaking through the darkness of global wars, conflicts and disasters. Photo: UNICEF website/Patryk Jaracz.

     I took this photo at about 11 o'clock in the morning, after a nighttime strike by Russian drones.
