If necessary, police and rescue workers will evacuate the population.
Citizens are also urged to be especially cautious if they discover any suspicious or explosive objects. Do not touch, move, or attempt to defuse them on your own. Such findings must be reported immediately by calling 101 or 102.
Law enforcement officers, rescue workers, and other specialized services continue to work on site to address the aftermath of the Russian strike.
