“There was a big explosion and I saw a fire. Debris and a lot of dust flew at once. I wanted to get out (of the car), but I don’t remember exactly how I got out, maybe someone helped me, I don’t remember the specifics. There was a young man behind me, so he helped me walk. Then I couldn’t call my husband. And as it turned out, a child was also passing by and his legs were cut, he was injured.”

“We were riding (a bicycle) and it was like a flash right in front of us. I didn’t realize anything at first, my legs were bleeding, I started running to Valera (twin brother), my ears were ringing, I couldn’t hear anything. Then it’s like I lose consciousness. Then some woman ran up, tried to stop the blood. Then my brother calls our father, he drives up and takes some policeman with him. We go to "Tysiachka" Hospital. There I have my first operation. (In the hospital) I saw everything, a lot of people around, all wounded. I even saw one little girl, a three-year-old girl, all covered in blood – face, everything.”

STORYLINE:
A Ukrainian mother and her son were among the more than 70 wounded recovering from their injuries after a deadly Russian missile strike in Kryvyi Rih.
Funerals for some of the 20 people, including nine children, killed by a Russian missile that tore through apartment buildings and blasted a playground last Friday evening, were held on Monday.
In a Kryvyi Rih hospital on Tuesday, 31-year-old mother Anastasia Alekseieva was recovering together with her 11-year-old son Vladyslav Alekseiev, whose legs were injured from the missile attack on Friday.
She told The Associated Press she was driving her car to work when the attack happened.
“There was a big explosion and I saw a fire," she said. "I wanted to get out (of the car), but I don’t remember exactly how I got out, maybe someone helped me, I don’t remember the specifics."
At the same time, her two twin sons were riding their bicycles back home. Lying in a hospital bed with his legs bandaged, Vladyslav Alekseiev described seeing a flash.
"I didn’t realize anything at first, my legs were bleeding…my ears were ringing, I couldn’t hear anything," he said. "Then it’s like I lose consciousness."
