In the Samara district of the Dnepropetrovsk region, on Sunday night two boys, 11 and 14 years old, were reportedly killed as a result of shelling. This was announced today by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
“The lives of children and their families have once again been destroyed as a result of attacks on residential areas,” reads a UNICEF publication on the X platform.
