Governor of Ukrainian City Shares Footage of Attack That Destroyed His Office: 'I Got Lucky'
Source: People
The regional governor of the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv says he got "lucky" on Tuesday, as he overslept and was late to work — just as a Russian attack on his office led to multiple casualties.
"They hit the building of the regional administration, demolished half of the building, hit my office. Most people were miraculously saved," regional Governor Vitaliy Kim said in a message posted to Telegram and shared by various media outlets.
He continued: "I had overslept. But, I got lucky."
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine said in a statement that the strike hit the nine-story government building at 8.45 a.m. local time — just as workers were arriving to the office.
