Details: In the National Police video, a man can be heard singing the Ukrainian national anthem beneath the rubble of a destroyed house.

Quote from the police: "That night, Russian forces attacked Kharkiv’s residential areas with strike drones. They struck deviously, as the city slept, when families were in their homes."

Patrol officers were among the first to respond at the site of one of the affected buildings.

And in this darkness, amid the dust, smoke and pain, a man under the rubble was singing the Ukrainian national anthem."
