Russian missile killed young couple planning marriage. They lived on 8th floor —their bodies found in basement after collapse

A young couple planning to marry died in their home when a Russian missile struck their apartment building in Lutsk, burying them under the rubble.

Russian forces deployed six missiles and 15 Shahed drones against the city of Lutsk in western Ukraine. The strikes resulted in 30 people sustaining injuries, while the targeted eight-story residential building experienced partial destruction.

Mykola and Ivanna lived on the eighth floor but were found dead in the basement after the structure collapsed suffering direct impact from the strike. 

“Their car is parked next to the building, but they are not responding. We hoped for a miracle… But unfortunately, they were killed by Russian terrorists,” said Roman Kravchuk, a deputy on the Lutsk City Council.

Emergency responders found Mykola’s body on 6 June, while Ivanna’s remains were located at 4:15 a.m. the following day.

The large-scale attack on 6 June targeted also Kyiv, Ternopil, Lviv, and several other Ukrainian cities with a massive barrage of over 400 drones and more than 40 missiles, including cruise and ballistic types. The assault resulted in six people killed and around 80 injured alongside widespread destruction of residential buildings, infrastructure, and energy facilities.
