Astonishing pic shows unexploded Russian missile sitting in Ukrainian family’s kitchen SINK
AN unexploded Russian missile was shockingly found lodged in the kitchen sink of a Ukrainian family's home after smashing through the roof.
Footage shows the huge rocket wedged in the corner of the room after miraculously only causing damage to the ceiling and sink at a house in the besieged city of Kharkiv.

The clip, shared on TikTok with almost 3million views, shows someone walking into the house where the giant missile can be seen stuck in the unit.
Aside from a little debris on the floor where the missile smashed through the ceiling, there appears to be no other damage to the home as it, fortunately, failed to explode.
A further video shared by @pd05763 appears to show members of a Ukrainian bomb disposal unit inspecting the rocket as one of them moves it with his hand.
Ukraine's government previously shared a picture of the unexploded missile, tweeting: "Imagine, it was Sunday morning and you were sleeping with your kids," as it called again for NATO to impose a no-fly zone over the country.
