The death toll from the attack on Rivne has risen to three
Russian occupation forces carried out a massive airstrike on the Rivne region, targeting civilian infrastructure.
As a result of the enemy strike, a residential building sustained significant damage, leading to casualties among the civilian population.
The head of the Rivne Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Koval, officially confirmed the deaths of three people. As of now, six people are also known to have been wounded, and medical personnel are providing necessary assistance at the sites of the strikes.
During a series of explosions in the regional capital, power was suddenly cut off in parts of Rivne.
Utility workers and emergency services will begin restoration work immediately after the security situation in the region stabilizes.
“Police investigative and operational teams, bomb disposal experts, and rescue workers are on the scene of the enemy strikes,” the Rivne Regional Police reported.
Law enforcement officers are gathering evidence of yet another war crime against the civilian population.
The regional governor urged residents to strictly follow safety rules and not to ignore air raid sirens.
As the attack on the region continues, staying in shelters remains critical for survival.
Employees of the Security Service of Ukraine and bomb disposal experts are conducting a detailed documentation of the aftermath of the shelling.
Rescue units of the State Emergency Service continue to clear the rubble of a destroyed building, under which people may be trapped.
“It has been reported that another person has died as a result of the airstrike on the Rivne region,” Oleksandr Koval said in his latest update.
