Ukraine woman's heart-wrenching sobs after children are killed

DISTRESSING CONTENT WARNING: Heartbreaking footage has captured a child's corpse being removed from the rubble of a building in Ukraine as a woman's sobs can be heard in the background.

Other distressing clips also show bodies lying on the ground, next to a destroyed car and in front of bombed-out buildings, with the surroundings nothing more than a pile of rubble.

They belonged to a family of five — two parents and three children.

Close-up images of the bodies, which have been wrapped in blankets, show the face of a small child. The sobbing woman in the background has not been identified.

The footage was obtained by Newsflash, minutes before the time of writing, from the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine, which said in a statement: "During the dismantling of structures, rescuers retrieved a family of five people, including three children".

The SES said that the corpses included two three-year-old twins — a boy and a girl. A third body reportedly belonged to a 12-year-old girl.

The family has not been named. It is currently unclear if they have been identified.

"They all died as a result of an air strike on the dormitory," SES said.

The footage was filmed in the city of Chernihiv, which is located in Chernihiv Oblast, in northern Ukraine.

The five were killed after the city was shelled by invading Russian forces.

The United Nations' International Court of Justice has ordered Russia to immediately suspend its military operations in Ukraine.
