Maria

 Maria was only 14 years old when she was killed by a Russian drone last month.

Maria Troyanivska came home early that evening when a Russian drone hit her bedroom.

"He flew right into her window, right into her room," her mother Victoria told the BBC. Immediately after the explosion, she and her husband Volodymyr ran out of the next room and saw that their daughter's room was on fire.

"We tried to extinguish the fire, but everything was burning very badly," she says through tears. "It was impossible to breathe, and we had to leave the apartment."

Last month, the Russian "Shahed" killed a 14-year-old girl in her own bed in her apartment in one of the districts of Kyiv.

"She died immediately and then got burned," said her mother. "We had to bury her in a closed coffin. She had no chance of survival."

Lviv

 The Russians hit Lviv with rockets. The shots were fired in the area of ​​the railway station. The news reports that 7 people died, including 2 children, girls aged 9 and 12. The girls were sisters and died together with their mother. Only the father of the family survived. He returned to the apartment to get water. The children were with their mother on the stairs when they were hit. The stairs collapsed and they found themselves under the rubble. As a result of the missile attack, about 50 houses were destroyed and damaged. In that area of ​​Lviv, there are mostly houses that were built during the time of Austro-Hungary.

 **** We heard two explosions during the night. Apparently, the anti-aircraft defense shot down Russian missiles, or "Shakhed" because there was no damage in our region. They only reported that the air defense system worked well.
