Over 30 killed as Russia's glide bomb attack targets two civilian buses in Ukraine

On the morning of 8 October, a Russian missile strike in Pryluky, Ukraine's Chernihiv Oblast, claimed the lives of 22 people, including five children, according to regional police. The victims ranged in age from one to thirteen years old. A three-year-old girl, Zlatoslava, remains hospitalized in the Chernihiv Oblast children's hospital, while her mother, Kateryna, is also in the hospital.

The family had visited Kateryna's sister, police officer Yuliia Malysh, on the evening of 6 October. Yuliia was wounded and hospitalized, while her husband, Oleh Malysh, was killed in the attack. Oleh, who had recently been fighting at the front in the Chernihiv Oblast police rifle battalion, was the eldest sibling. The family's other sister, Liudmyla, was also killed in the strike.

Emergency worker Pavlo Levchenko, along with colleagues, rescued Zlatoslava and her mother from the rubble after the blast.
