Eyewitnesses described seeing a Russian plane dropping a bomb on the buildings. One resident spoke to the press and said his family members are buried underneath the wreckage.
“I was miraculously lucky. They were increasing shelling every day, and on the 2nd (of March) we could not stand it anymore and I went with my wife and a child to walk them away as far as possible from the Central Street. I left approximately at 7.30am and at quarter or ten to (8am) I was on my way back to there (shelter in the basement) when the plane came on and dropped a bomb.”

Borodyanka. A cozy town 50 km from Kyiv. April 2022. View from above. Right after the expulsion of the "Russian world" & "Russian butchers on tanks". Ruins, blood, tears. Hundreds of missing people under the rubble. And the price of the world's continued patience (to avoid "WW3") pic.twitter.com/2cEvJKF226
