CCTV footage captured the moment a Russian drone struck a school in Kyiv on Thursday, shattering windows and partly destroying a wall. No children or teachers were injured, as they had taken shelter after an air raid alert, according to Ukrainian officials and the headteacher.
Students Sheltered During Attack
Officials said 104 children had arrived at the school when the alert sounded and were having lessons in shelter classrooms when the drone hit. The headteacher of School 12, Valentyna Chorna, said, 'They spare no one. Children are our future, the future of our nation. In order to destroy a nation, of course, they need to destroy children.'
Impact on the Community
The attack damaged the school building, but the quick response to the air raid alert ensured the safety of all students and staff. The incident underscores the ongoing threat to civilian infrastructure amid the conflict.
