Kindergarten-aged children race for bomb shelters amid explosions & air raid sirens – shocking video

25 March 2024, 03:37 PM

Footage of children racing for the safety of bomb shelters as Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv on a sunny morning on March 25 was shared by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on X.

Dozens of kindergarten-aged children race for the shelters amid sound of explosions made more haunting by the simultaneous blaring of air raid sirens.

The video was posted in English and aimed at Ukraine’s international allies.

“There are no atrocities (these) Russian bastards would not commit, including a ballistic strike at the heart of a city of millions,” he wrote.

“This is a reminder that Ukraine urgently requires more air defense, particularly Patriot systems and missiles capable of repelling any Russian attack,” Kuleba wrote.

A series of explosions rocked the capital as Russia launched two ballistic missiles from Crimea at 10:30 a.m. Ukraine’s Air Force intercepted both missiles, though debris fell in several districts, including the central Pechersk area.

Initial reports indicate four casualties in the capital’s Pechersk district [city authorities reported five - ed. note], with two hospitalized and two experiencing acute stress reactions after the Russian attack.

Rescuers believe that people may still be trapped under the rubble.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
