Man managed to run away moment before "Shahed" hit kindergarten grounds in Kyiv region. VIDEO
A surveillance camera captured a drone hitting a kindergarten in the Kyiv region. Shortly before the explosion, a man was near the drone and managed to run away with only seconds to spare.
The video was posted on social media, Censor.NET reports.
The approximately 15-second video was recorded by a fixed surveillance camera from an elevated position. The recording date and time (October 8, 5:15 p.m.) and the "Vyshneve News" Telegram channel watermark are visible in the upper-left corner. Initially, the scene is quiet, with only a man in a light-colored shirt walking along a path with pedestrian markings. A second or two later, he suddenly starts running, and the next moment a bright explosion fills the frame: a fireball erupts on the right side of the playground, scattering debris. Thick smoke and separate fires on the ground and near the structures are then visible. The audio was not transcribed.
