Ivan Vyhovsky, head of Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, reported that rescuers discovered the body of another woman who had died in the Solomyanskyi district of the capital. More than 600 rescuers and police officers have been deployed to deal with the aftermath of the attack.
At the sites of the attacks, police have set up command centers where they are accepting reports of damaged and destroyed property. In Kyiv alone, over 200 reports have already been processed. Psychologists are on hand to provide support to people who have lost loved ones or been left homeless.
In the capital, about 20 residential buildings, a school, a children’s hospital, and a preschool—all civilian facilities that posed no threat—have been significantly damaged. We have mobilized all necessary units and robotic equipment to clear the rubble and rescue people. We are checking to see if there are any more people trapped under the rubble. In the Kyiv region, a fire has engulfed warehouse buildings containing household goods. Rescuers are trying to contain the flames, and aircraft have been deployed.
