“The bullet hit the boy in the head. His father made him a coffin from the closet”
Eighteen people died in the basement of building No. 102 on Myru Avenue in Mariupol. Their bodies were taken to a separate room. Some people had bleeding, but there was no help. An air strike hit. “About ten people, who were in the yard, died before our eyes. Dead bodies were lying on the left and on the right. They lay there for dozens of days, and they were not buried,” says Mariupol resident Yuzef Nikolchenko. “Ihor and his son lived in the section next door. Shelling attacks began when they were heating the water [on a fire]. The bullet hit the boy in the head. His father made a coffin from the closet.”
