Three people were killed, including a mother and child who were not able to get into a shelter, when Russia launched a missile attack on the Ukrainian capital early Thursday. Loud explosions were heard just minutes after air-raid sirens sounded throughout the city, waking residents worn out by a month of relentless attacks.

After what he described as an explosion, Yaroslav found Natalya bleeding alongside a blanket she brought for their daughter and a blue bag carrying family documents, according to the Suspilne report. Yaroslav said that his daughter saw what happened to her mother.

Yaroslav said a number of people were trying desperately to get in. “People were knocking, knocking for a very long time,” he said, adding, “There were women and children and nobody opened it.”

The man, who gave his name as Yaroslav, told the Ukrainian public broadcaster that his wife Natalya and their daughter were killed when they couldn’t get into the shelter.

The city’s military administration said some of the debris fell on a clinic and an adjacent building. A mother and her child were killed when they tried to get into a shelter after an air raid, according to the two workers who were not authorized to speak to the news media.
