Matviy Voronov’s message reeks of desperation. “Is anyone from the Voronov family alive? Maybe someone has seen them?” he asked in a local community group on Thursday, after learning that Russia hit his home village in southern Ukraine with a ballistic missile.
“Matviy, I was there. Only the foundation of the house remained, everyone died,” one of the neighbors replied. As of Thursday afternoon, rescuers had recovered six bodies from the rubble of the home in the rural village of Radushne, in the Dnipro Region, including those of Voronov’s parents and four children.
Local authorities said they believed 10 people were in the house when it was struck: Voronov’s parents Olena, 41, and Artem, 47, seven of his nine siblings – Mark, 17, Dominika, 15, Vioryka 14, Zakhariy, 12, Azariy Ilai, 11, Federikа 10 and Emilia, six – and his one-and-a-half-year old nephew Artem.
The modest house did not have a chance. The Iskander missile flies at six to seven times the speed of sound and can carry up to 700 kilograms of explosives.

Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of the Military Administration of Kryvyi Rih, told CNN the Voronovs’ home was struck with an Iskander ballistic missile launched by Russia from Voronezh.
The modest house did not have a chance. The Iskander missile flies at six to seven times the speed of sound and can carry up to 700 kilograms of explosives.
“It was an ordinary home, blown into smithereens by a ballistic missile,” Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said of the attack.
Authorities were still trying to locate the other four people known to have been in the house when the missile struck. They have warned that the chances of anyone surviving the attack are low and that DNA testing might be necessary to identify the remains.
The family dog, named by local media as Rocky, was found alive after one of the rescuers spotted his tail poking out of the rubble.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
