A mother and daughter who fled their hometown after it was hit by an airstrike 18 miles from the Polish border yesterday had believed they would be “safe” from Russian attacks.
Terrified Iryna and Tania Komisar were woken by sirens before the “skies turned red” as missiles landed near their house in Yavoriv, killing 35 and leaving 134 wounded.
They hid in their home until the “roaring” had stopped - then Iryna’s husband drove them near the border where they shared a tearful goodbye before the pair walked two hours into Poland.
