As the boy’s father, Oleksandr, said, 3-year-old Dmytro was killed first. 

"I saw his mutilated body — the back of his head, back, and spine were missing. He was the sunshine of our family; his warmth and the love he showed to all of us inspired us to keep living in such a difficult time. My mother Halyna was killed by the third drone; she devoted her entire life to teaching children at school. Her body was torn into millions of pieces. At that time, my father Petro was taking off his burned clothes beside my mother, and a huge fragment ended his life, cutting practically his entire body in half," Oleksandr wrote on social media. 

Reminder 

As a result of the enemy attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region, 3 people were killed and another 7 were injured.
