Iryna Martsyniuk, 50, stands next to her house, heavily damaged after a Russian bombing in Velyka Kostromka village, Ukraine, Thursday, May 19, 2022. Martsyniuk and her three young children were at home when the attack occurred in the village, a few kilometres from the front lines, but they all survived unharmed.

The roof splintered and collapsed but the ceiling above their heads managed to hold and the family ran to try and leave out the front door.

The family hid inside until the explosions subsided, and then climbed through a back window and ran down the road to a neighbour's home, where they hid in the basement. Luckily, all of them survived the ordeal and managed to come out unscathed.
