Girl survives being blasted 100ft from Kyiv tower in Putin blitz that killed 11 – but says ‘what happened to mum & dad?'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A YOUNG girl has miraculously survived a 100ft fall off a tower block after her family's apartment was hit by the latest deadly Russian attacks. Vladimir Putin's evil forces unleashed a terrifying night of strikes which killed 11 people, including a six-year-old and his mother, and left Kyiv decimated. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Young Veronika miraculously survived a 100ft fall off a tower block after her family's apartment was hit in Russian strikes Credit: East2West 5 Veronika's family were among hundreds ripped apart in Kyiv after five buildings were targeted in strikes Credit: East2West 5 Vladimir Putin's evil forces unleashed a terrifying night of strikes which killed 11 people, including a child, and left Kyiv decimated Credit: East2West Brave Veronika and her parents were in bed inside their ninth-floor apartment when a missile struck the building. A terrifying explosion ripped through the towering block of flats as those inside were blasted out of their homes and sent flying through the sky. Veronika was sent plunging over 100ft to the ground but managed to cheat death by landing on her cushioned bed. She was left with a broken leg and lost a tooth. The emotional toll has weighed far greater on her with her parents yet to be found among the rubble. Speaking on the horrific wake-up, Veronika said: "I fell from the ninth floor. I just had a broken leg and a tooth was knocked out. "I was conscious, I was just sleepy and didn't understand what was happening. "I heard an explosion and a second later I was on the ground. I don't know how it happened. "I don't know what happened to my father, what happened to my mother. I don't know where they are yet. What happened to them?" The tragic death toll from the strikes sits at 11 with another 135 injured. Russia threatens Trump with 'devastating' strikes after US president cut Putin's ceasefire deadline Thirty of the wounded are still receiving treatment in hospital - including five children. Many, including Veronika's parents, remain missing. Vlad reportedly sent eight Iskander-K cruise missiles and 309 Shahed drones, according to Ukraine's armed forces. Five buildings were directly hit, they added. President Volodymyr Zelensky posted a video of burning ruins, saying people were still trapped under the rubble of one residential building. He said: "Kyiv. Missile strike. Directly into a residential building. People under the rubble. All services are on site. Russian terrorists." Kyiv mayor Vitaly Klitschko paid tribute to those who were killed as he described the attack on the capital as the heaviest night of horror for children since the start of the war. Telegram channel Pravda Gerashchenko added: "While rescuers are clearing debris and searching for survivors, people are at the scene of the tragedy waiting for news about their loved ones. "These scenes break the heart. Show them to those who think the maniac Putin can be appeased." The latest strike shows Putin has no intention of avoiding Trump's ire and cutting a peace deal with Ukraine. The US President has repeatedly said that the nightly bombing of civilians shows him Vlad isn't serious about peace. Trump's shortened 10-day deadline could now see massive sanctions slapped on Russia or those who buy Moscow's oil by August 8. Trump slammed tyrant Putin while visiting Scotland earlier this week as he has not taken Trump's peace efforts seriously. Trump said was "very disappointed" with him and said there was "no reason" to not implement sanctions earlier on Russia. He has made getting peace in Ukraine a priority and has talked to Putin directly as he has tried to get him to cut a deal. But the tyrant has not moved away from his maximalist demands and will only sign a deal that leaves Ukraine defenceless. Vlad has spent months talking up the prospect of peace, but appears to have alienated Trump after launching huge barrages at Ukrainian civilians. The deadly blitzes are intended to sap morale and hammer civilian infrastructure, experts say. 5 Officials in Kyiv are still searching for any missing civilians under the rubble Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

Killer claimed he woke up to discover his ex dead in bed HOTEL HORROR Monster GUILTY of murdering ex-fiancee at luxury hotel after she agreed to celebrate his 60th birthday Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MONSTER has been found guilty of raping and murdering his ex-fiancee at a luxury hotel after she agreed to celebrate his birthday. Samantha Mickleburgh arranged to stay with James Cartwright because she "didn't want him to feel lonely" for his 60th. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 James Cartwright has been found guilty of murdering his ex 2 Samantha was discovered dead in a hotel room Credit: Surrey Police The mum-of-two, 54, was later discovered dead at the swanky Pennyhill Park Hotel in Bagshot, Surrey, on April 14 last year. Cartwright, 61, has now been found guilty of murder following a trial. Guildford Crown Court heard Samantha and Cartwright started their "whirlwind" romance in 2022 and got engaged a year later. After they split, Cartwright continued to pursue his ex - showing up at her home unannounced and "bombarding" her with calls. Prosecutor Louise Oakley said: "She didn't wish him any ill, but she no longer wanted to live with him and no longer wanted to be in a relationship with him. "But part of her also felt bad for him, believing that he had no one else to spend that day with. "As a result, she had arranged a celebratory meal and stay at Penny Hill Park and Spa, and in a final act of selflessness, she honoured that commitment despite telling friends and family that the relationship was over."
