        he Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office has released video footage showing the moment a Russian kamikaze drone hit a private kindergarten in the city’s Kholodnohirskyi district.

        The attack occurred on October 22 around 11:00 a.m. According to preliminary reports, Russian forces used three Geran-2 (Shahed-type) drones. One of them struck the kindergarten grounds, where children and staff were present at the time. Thanks to a timely move to a shelter, none of them were injured.

        As a result of the strike, a 42-year-old municipal worker was killed, and nine others — three men and six women — sustained injuries of varying severity.
