A man avoids the impact of a Russian drone for seconds next to a daycare center in Ukraine

A man has managed to escape for just a few seconds the impact of a Russian drone in the Ukrainian town of Sviatopetrivske, in the Bucha district, on the outskirts of kyiv. The incident, which occurred this Thursday during a new wave of Russian attacks, was recorded by a security camera that shows how the civilian hastily leaves the place moments before a powerful explosion occurs.

In the images, spread through social networks, the man is seen walking through a residential area next to a playground when, apparently alerted by the proximity of the device, he begins to run towards one end of the street. Just a few seconds later, a huge fireball engulfs part of the premises and causes a shower of debris and a dense column of smoke. The man manages to move away from the impact zone, although no information has been released about his subsequent condition.

The Military Administration of the kyiv region has confirmed that the Russian attack hit the facilities of a children's school and its playground in a residential complex in Sviatopetrivske, in addition to causing damage to the windows of several nearby residential buildings. The Ukrainian authorities have deployed emergency personnel and police officers to evaluate the damage and deal with the consequences of the bombing.

The incident occurs amid an intensification of Russian bombings against different regions of Ukraine. This Thursday, an attack on a bus zone in Kramatorsk, in the eastern region of Donetsk, left at least 30 dead, while a day before a Russian missile hit a residential building in Pryluky, in the north of the country, causing the death of 22 people, including five minors.
