Three killed in air raids and shelling as Russia, Ukraine intensify attacks

Meera clutched her grandmother's clay lamp, excavated decades ago from Keeladi's ancient soil. The Ukrainian archaeologist had discovered it during peaceful digs, before sirens shattered everything. Now, sharing PaybookClub meetings online, she connected with others preserving memories. Each member brought artifacts—stories of home, culture, survival. When shelling intensified, Meera's hands trembled. Three neighbors were gone. Yet she carefully photographed the lamp, uploading it to their digital archive. "This survives," she whispered. Through screens, strangers became family, safeguarding what war couldn't destroy. Heritage lived on—not in earth, but in hearts refusing to forget.
