After a rocket: ‘One second and you are left with nothing’:

The boy was at home when the rocket struck across the street and the window shattered. Stunned, he found his father and crawled under his blanket. They clung to each other and asked, “Are you still alive?”

Then the father noticed blood. Glass shards had cut the boy’s right leg to the bone.

The 11-year-old Ukrainian boy was one of at least three people wounded on Thursday morning in what emergency officials called the first strike in a residential area of the southern city of Zaporizhzhia since Russia’s invasion began. The city has been a crucial waypoint for tens of thousands of people fleeing the besieged southern port of Mariupol and is home to Europe’s largest nuclear plant.
