House torn apart by an explosion: Vorskla newspaper editor-in-chief’s family home destroyed by enemy UAVs

Two russian Molniya type UAVs destroyed a house in the village of Velyka Pysarivka in the Sumy Region, which belongs to the family of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Vorskla, Oleksii Pasiuha.

The incident occurred on the morning of March 12, Oleksii Pasiuha noted in a comment to National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU) — the newspapermen were just receiving a fresh edition of the publication from Nova Poshta to deliver it to readers.

“A comrade calls: “Your house is on fire!”. Two “Molniya” hit the house, one with explosives, the other with an incendiary mixture. The house was torn apart by the first explosion, and the second burned the house to the ground,” the journalist said. “It was the last undamaged “high-rise” in Velyka Pysarivka.”

His father built a three-story family nest with his own hands for the whole family. Also a journalist in the past, Boris Oleksiyovych once started out as a builder. While still a schoolboy, Oleksii Pasiuha helped with construction, pounding concrete mortar.

The house burned down and cannot be restored, the media person noted:

“Someone says that we are lucky, because we will be able to receive compensation. Dad does not want to and does not apply for it. He says that he will wait until russia starts paying reparations after our victory.”
