During the massive missile attack on Kyiv on June 23, the apartment of the lead singer of the band Antytila, Taras Topolia, was damaged. The building where he lived with his wife, singer Olena Topolia (known as Alyosha), was struck by a shockwave, as Topolia writes on Facebook.
According to the singer, his home is located next to a high-rise building that was hit by a Russian ballistic missile. The powerful blast wave caused serious damage to the building where Topolia and his family lived.
Despite the destruction, the musician’s family survived.
"Today, Russian ballistic missiles destroyed the apartment my beloved Olena Topolia and I shared. Inside, everything is wrecked. The blast wave bent and tore out the armored doors from their locks. Only the walls remain — and even those are partially destroyed. We were lucky — everyone in the family is alive. That’s how things turned out. The Creator protected us," wrote Topolia.
The artist also shared photos of the aftermath.
In addition, the musician's wife, Olena Topolia, filmed the first moments after the Russian strike on Kyiv — the missile hit the building across the street. Shocked, the singer was unable to say a word. She published the video on her Instagram page.
