On the night of April 27, the Russians fired a total of four Kalibr missiles at Mykolaiv from the Black Sea. Downtown, a rocket hit several multi-story residential buildings. 23 injured persons are in the hospital, about 20 more received medical assistance on the spot.
According to Olena Kozubovska, the shell fell down around 1 am, immediately followed by another one. The journalist remembers that she was already under the rubble.
"At first I thought that the house had collapsed. I was on the floor, covering my head with my hands. My younger sister helped me get out. Then I realized that an inner wall had collapsed on me. I was not injured, only received minor injuries to my hands," says Olena.
The journalist's car was parked next to the house, a fragment of a rocket hit it, causing a fire and burning down the vehicle.
Now Olena and her family are on site of the impact, cleaning out the debris.
