Ukraine. Zhitomir. Personal account from Alex from yesterday...

https://polishorigins.com/blog/ukraine-zhitomir-missile/

"I got up today at 3.30 am from sirens and a distant explosion. The missile landed somewhere on the outskirts of the city. But since then I could not go to sleep.
I had a mission to evacuate a family with kids from Choroshiv (45 km North from Zhitomir.) In a previous life, it took me only 45 minutes to get there, but I live in a different world now so I decided to leave home at 8 am and have 3 hours in advance. The family of three, mother and two daughters should have been waiting for me at the center of Choroshiv."

Ukraine update - field report from Zhitomir.

Instead of repeating information you know from the media, we share with you emails we received today from our friend, a genealogist and tour guide with whom we have been working for many years, Alex Brzhezytsky from Zhitomir.

"(...) Yesterday, my home town was bombed by Russians. The missile from Belarus landed 50 m from the hospital where my elder daughter Evelyn was born in 2002. The explosion was so powerful that it destroyed 10 private houses, several stores. Imploding shock wave was so strong that the windows in the hospital and cadet dormitory blew into pieces.."
