"So many lives ruined by #putin!"😪

"It was just hell, a hell you can’t describe..."

On April 4, 2025, a #Russian #Iskander_9M723 ballistic missile struck #Kryvyi_Rih. It killed 20 people, including nine children, and injured dozens more.

One of the injured was 8-year-old second-grader #Matvii_Holovko.

It takes about three minutes for a #Russian_Iskander to reach #Kryvyi_Rih, so there was no time to take shelter when the missile

exploded near residential buildings and a playground.

#Matvii's mom, #Vita, shielded her son with her body. She was killed by the strike but saved #Matvii's life.

#Matvii lost his left arm and has undergone multiple surgeries. Today, he continues rehabilitation at the #Superhumans_Center.

By late 2025, #Russia had launched more than 400 of the #Iskander_M missiles. This one, which took flight on April 4, was the 64th of the year.

The #Kremlin claimed that it was targeting a meeting of military officials at a restaurant, though surveillance footage showed only civilians there.
