Today, Russia struck a school in Kyiv with a drone during the morning hours. At the time of the strike, about 100 schoolchildren and 60 staff members were in the shelter; fortunately, no one was hurt.

Who does that? What kind of barbarians attack children on a school day?

Russian terrorism continues - missile attack against a school in Kyiv

Video of a Russian attack drone making a direct hit on a school in Kyiv this morning. No injuries, as the children were in a shelter at the time. Absolute barbarism from fascist Russia, which almost certainly deliberately targeted the school.
