A Ukrainian woman barely escaped with her life after a Russian projectile hit her apartment complex during a massive attack that killed at least six people, pulse-pounding new footage shows.
Home video from the Oct. 22 bombardment shows the moment Tetyana Kotelenets, 34, was putting on earrings to go out when she suddenly reacts in horror to a nearby sound.
The room is rocked by a massive explosion that sends smoke, dust, and debris flying everywhere, with Kotelenets disappearing from view.
The horrified woman could be seen reemerging from the smoke as a ghost-like figure.
“I was in shock,” Kotelenets told Need To Know about the violent incident. “I have so many questions.”
Another survivor was seen entering the apartment to check on Kotelenets, with the two leaving the destroyed room together.
A follow-up video from the 34-year-old’s apartment complex shows the aftermath of the explosion, which ripped apart the windows, walls, ceiling, and even the floor.
The windows and floors were covered with plastic wrap to keep the cold out, while the walls and ceiling still showed fire damage from the explosion.
Kotelenets’ apartment was only one of many residential areas hit following a massive Russian drone and missile strike across Ukraine that left six dead, including a mom and her two children.
The attack came just a day after President Trump cancelled his meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, with the two leaders yet to meet as peace in Ukraine remains elusive.
