Death toll from Russian strike on park in Kharkiv region rises as third child dies in hospital

Oleksandr Yesin, Head of the Nova Vodolaha community, reported this on Facebook , according to Ukrinform. “Our community has been shaken by a terrible tragedy whose cruelty is beyond comprehension, both intellectually and emotionally. The Russian shelling of Nova Vodolaha on October 19 claimed the life of a second child from the same family. Twelve-year-old Artem Koval died in a hospital in Kyiv. For more than a week, doctors in the capital did everything possible, fighting for every minute of the boy’s life after he sustained extremely severe injuries in an enemy drone strike on the Yuvileinyi Park. Unfortunately, there was no miracle – his injuries proved fatal.
