Sole survivor: Father left after Russian strike kills his wife and three children in Kryvyi Rih
Maksym is the only survivor of the Kulyks family. The Russian deliberate strike on the residential area killed four, injured 14.
Russia’s ballistic missile strike in the city of Kryvyi Rih has claimed the lives of a family of four, including three young children, leaving only the father as the sole survivor. The Russian air strike injured 14, including a 10-year-old girl treated on-site and three hospitalized in moderate condition, among them an 11-year-old boy.
According to Serhii Lysak, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, the bodies of three children were recovered from the rubble of a destroyed five-story residential building.
“The body of the third child, who was less than a year old, was found under the rubble,” Lysak wrote in a Telegram post.
In total, Lysak stated that the Russian attack on Kryvyi Rih had killed four people. He expressed his condolences to the families of the victims.
The search and rescue operation has now been completed, according to Lysak. Earlier in the evening, rescuers had found the body of the mother under the rubble.
Father survived, mother and three children were killed
The attack occurred on 11 November, during an air raid siren, when a Russian ballistic missile hit the residential building directly. Local media outlet Svoi reported that the family members killed were Olena, 32, Kyrylo, 10, Demyd, 2.8, and baby Uliana, 2 months old. The father, Maksym, was the sole survivor.
“Everyone who knew them says they were very kind people. Olena and Maksym cooked meals for the homeless, visited children’s homes, and engaged in charity work,” Svoi wrote.
