Cat survives three days under rubble after Russian strike
A cat named Mila was rescued in Kharkiv after spending three days trapped under the rubble of a residential building hit in Russia’s Aug. 9 attack on the city’s Saltivskyi district, the municipal Animal Treatment Center said.
A cat named Mila survived three days hidden beneath the rubble of a residential building in Kharkiv, Ukraine, following a Russian attack on August 9. The municipal Animal Treatment Center rescued Mila on August 12, after crews spent three days clearing the debris. Upon lifting a concrete slab, the frightened cat jumped down from the slab.
Mila, who exhibited severe stress and dehydration, was taken to the municipal shelter for medical care. Specialists noted that she had no serious injuries but required infusion therapy and regular observation. Mila's condition has since stabilized, and she is expected to be reunited with her owner. Russian forces had targeted the Saltivskyi district with Banderol loitering munitions, causing damage to a building, warehouses, and a park.
The attack resulted in one fatality reported by Ukraine's State Emergency Service and 37 affected individuals as stated by Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov.
