As reported by the online media Suspilne.
Late at night on September 2, the city of Sloviansk came under attack from two Geran-2 type unmanned aerial vehicles. One of the drones hit a private house; the family survived but lost their home and their beloved dog.
According to residents, the UAV’s hum was clearly noticeable a few seconds before the strike. Dmytro recalls: he heard it literally just before the explosion.
“I managed to push my wife off the bed – and immediately the blast. The ceiling collapsed, I was buried headfirst. I crawled out, shouting: ‘Are you alive?’ – and she replied: ‘The wardrobe pinned me.’ She wriggled through. Through the door she ran out. I shouted: ‘Go to the basement,’ – says the man.

After the strike, the house caught fire, but thanks to the coordinated actions of the family and caring neighbors they managed to survive; however the dog stayed close to the owners in the hardest moments and supported them in coping with the aftermath of the disaster.
Now the family needs support: the roof needs to be repaired, a minimal supply of essential items must be provided, and assistance is needed to return to a stable life after the destruction.
