Security camera footage captured the moment a woman escaped by a miracle from an explosion during a Russian drone attack on Kyiv. The woman managed to escape by millimeters from the explosion, in a moment of extreme closeness with danger.

The attack was part of a wave of drones launched by Russia against the capital. The explosion hit several houses in the area, including apartment blocks, causing destruction in the surroundings.

The woman ended up surviving the attack, despite being extremely close to the explosion. The incident was recorded on video and shows the narrow margin by which she escaped.
