Perth, Oct 15: A former Brazilian military paratrooper who has joined Ukrainian forces in the war against Russia captured the terrifying moment a Russian missile hit the Kharkiv building he was staying in on Tuesday, October 13, according to CNN Brasil.
Lucas de Souza Candido told Storyful he was filming himself speaking in his apartment, where he was enjoying a moment of rest after “some difficult days.”
“I was recording a video talking about the air-raid sirens that were going off around us and the massive attacks hitting the region,” Candido said.
Footage shows the moment an explosive blast forces Candido to end his recording, as well as the aftermath of the attack.
In a post to Instagram, he said it was “one of the most difficult moments” he had experienced in the war. Candido’s Instagram bio states that he is a former paratrooper from Brazil.
Local officials said on Tuesday at least four people were killed in a Russian attack on Kharkiv overnight.
The DSNS said Russian forces “launched missile strikes on the Kholodnohirsk and Shevchenkivsk districts” of Kharkiv. At least 41 people were injured.
