One-year-old girl and her mother killed in Russian drone attack
Six people, including two little girls, lost their lives when a Russian Shahed drone struck the center of Nova Vodolaha, in Kharkiv region, near a park not far from a café, on October 19. A further fourteen people were injured in the attack, including six children.
One of the victims was Angelina, who was born in August 2025 and had barely turned one when death found her in her stroller. Her mother, Inna, was taken to hospital with severe injuries, where she later died as well. The other child victim of the attack was a girl of just eleven years old.
Angelina had barely seen anything of the world yet, while the eleven-year-old girl still had ahead of her all the experiences and possibilities of growing up. Their loved ones must now go on living with the incomprehensible pain of losing their children, parents and dear ones.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the victims.
