CCTV Captures Russian Drone Slamming Into Kyiv School With 104 Children Inside – Warhead Fails to Detonate
CTV captured the moment a Russian drone struck a Kyiv school with 104 children and 60 staff inside. All survived after taking shelter underground, while the drone’s warhead failed to detonate.
On day 1681 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, a Russian drone targeted a school in Kyiv that was housing over 100 students and around 60 staff members. The school, which had initially been used as a shelter, emerged unscathed from the attack, with everyone inside emerging safely despite fires breaking out in two Kyiv districts. The Russian drone utilized a mechanical contact detonator, consisting of metal "whiskers" on its surface, to strike the building.
Meanwhile, in Sumy, a similar drone attack caused damage to a 19th-century church and a statue of Christ. This incident highlights the ongoing threat faced by civilians in the conflict zone, as well as the evolving tactics employed by both sides in the war.
