“30 Minutes Before” - Mother of Girl Who Survived Attack on Krivoy Rog Shows How Children Played Before the Attack
Maria, the mother of little Afina, posted a video on social media that was filmed half an hour before the tragic attack on Krivoy Rog on April 4. The footage shows children playing peacefully on a playground until a missile landed there. “Afina and I miraculously survived. Out of everyone who was there,” the woman wrote. However, they were both injured.
The video also shows 3-year-old Timofey, footage of whom being resuscitated was widely shared online. He did not survive. At the time of the explosion, the boy and his grandmother were returning home from the playground.
On April 4, Russia launched a missile strike on Krivoy Rog, killing 20 people, including 9 children. The Russian Defense Ministry claims that the strike was aimed at “a meeting of Ukrainian commanders and Western instructors.”
