From Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 714):
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.
Psalm 114:7-8
Our morning started with loud blasts of explosions. Our neighborhood wasn’t directly affected, but we were shaken anyway. One of my friends said that the only thing she can say after missile attacks like that is, “It wasn’t your turn today,” yet she inadvertently feels that it might be her turn to be directly affected one of the days.
There were over 20 missiles launched at and shot down over Kyiv. The debris fell in two city districts, causing damage. Thankfully, it’s not as bad as an actual missile hit, but how do you explain it to the families of the four people who were killed and about 30 injured?
I can’t say I had any acute reactions this morning, but I felt drained the whole day, nauseous with anger at the evil that can come just like that.
We might hear more stories. So far, I read about a teenage boy who was home with his aunt and cousin when the missile went through their apartment. It took a few hours until the rescue team could get to their apartment. Thankfully, everyone was alive.
I also read about an animal activist who also bred dogs. The missile went through her apartment, sending her to the hospital in critical condition and killing her dogs.
It wasn’t our turn today. Will Russia be stopped until our turn comes?
