A Russian drone strike Tuesday night in Ukraine\u2019s Kharkiv region<\/a> wiped out a young family, killing a father and his three small children, leaving a pregnant mother as the sole survivor.<\/p>\n

Oleg Synegubov, the governor of the Kharkiv region, said on Telegram that the attack on the town of Bohodukhiv claimed the lives of 34-year-old Grigory and his three children \u2014 2-year-old twin boys, Ivan and Vladyslav, and their 1-year-old sister Myroslava.<\/p>\n

The family had just evacuated from Zolochiv, a front-line town about 25 miles from the Russian border, in an effort to escape persistent shelling.<\/p>\n

They were spending their first night in their new home when the strike occurred, Synegubov said.<\/p>\n

Olga, the children\u2019s 35-year-old mother who is 35 weeks pregnant, survived with injuries and minor burns and was later discharged from the hospital after receiving medical care.<\/p>\n

“The Russian army<\/a> once again targeted an ordinary residential building in the middle of the night,” said Synegubov. “Another terrorist act of the state fighting against the civilian population \u2013 against small children, pregnant women, elderly people.”<\/p>\n

The Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor\u2019s Office said preliminary data indicates that a “Geran-2” drone was used in the attack.<\/p>\n
