According to preliminary information, the Russians fired a ballistic missile, the type of which will be determined later.
"Now we can observe the search operations, unfortunately, because we have appeals from our citizens about at least two missing persons. Six people have died at this place, in this very building, so far. (...) We have dismantled the fifth, fourth, third floor. Now we are dismantling the second floor, where we think there may be more bodies," Klymenko said.
Rescuers have already removed 120 tonnes of construction waste. 100 people and 50 pieces of equipment are working to eliminate the consequences in this building. 17 people have been rescued. The rubble is currently being cleared, and there may still be people under it - about three people.
In fact, the building is in a state of emergency, as the missile did not collapse the building, but damaged the structure of the neighbouring entrance.
As a reminder, as of 13.00 on 23 June, 7 people were confirmed dead as a result of the Russian strike. The number of injured has also increased - up to 28 people
