Emergency rescue operations are ongoing in Kyiv at two sites in Dniprovskyi and Desnianskyi districts – residential buildings hit in Russian strikes.
This was reported by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ihor Klymenko, on Telegram, according to Censor.NET.
Casualties and injured reported
According to him, the Holosiivskyi, Pecherskyi, Darnytskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts of the capital also came under a massive attack today.
"As of now, six people are known to have been killed and more than ten wounded. State Emergency Service rescuers have saved 18 people. However, there is information that one person may still be trapped under the rubble," Klymenko noted.
State Emergency Service rescuers, police, mobile units of the Migration Service and service centres are working at the sites. Investigators are documenting every consequence of the enemy strikes – every war crime.
"Last night, Russia also attacked the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, Odesa and Chernihiv regions. The strikes targeted civilian and energy infrastructure. Interior Ministry forces are handling the aftermath at all locations.
Russia is deliberately striking at civilians and their homes, at essential facilities. This is the strategy of a terrorist state: destruction, fear, death," the minister stressed.
Ukrainian services are doing everything possible to rescue everyone who needs help, find every person under the rubble, and support the victims.
