Oksana cleans up.
She has lived in this block of flats for years.
Now he is a war ruin.
The building caught fire on Friday night.
It is unclear whether direct rocket fire destroyed the house.
Some sources report that a shot down Russian missile could have started the fire.
Oksana Gulenko, resident:
»I was sleeping.
Then there was a loud bang and I was thrown ten feet away, out of my room and into the hallway.
That's it.
The panes shattered.
Noises came from outside.
I was scared, I crawled across the floor."
Mostly families of former Soviet soldiers live in the house.
Oksana's father got the apartment after he fought in Afghanistan in the 80s.
She herself works in a military hospital in Kiev.
Oksana Gulenko, resident:
»I was completely confused, didn't understand what was wrong with me.
As if I had been picked up and dropped again.
Then I heard screams.
I got up, saw the shattered windows and grabbed some items right away.
I had documents prepared last night.
With that, I'm out on the street.
While I was outside, for about two or three hours, the door was forced open.
The fire brigade or the police searched for victims.
Luckily I was alone in the apartment when it happened.«
Three people are said to have been injured in the building, said Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Nothing is known about fatalities.
Oksana Gulenko, resident:
»I've already removed the broken pieces here.
I slept there.
And this is where it threw me, in this corner.
I didn't dare raise my head at first.
I thought there were soldiers.
It sounded like gunshots."
Next door, Oksana's daughter Katya sings the Ukrainian national anthem.
She came to clean up.
She actually wanted to celebrate a birthday today.
But the ingredients for the cake are full of shards.
Katya:
»Long live Ukraine.«
