The law enforcement officers immediately provided first aid. They applied bandages and tourniquets to stop the bleeding, and then helped transport the victims to ambulances. “The TOR officers were at the attack sites from the very first minutes. In particular, Denis Trigubenko and Anton Dobrenko found three injured women and provided them with first aid—applying bandages and tourniquets to stop the bleeding, and then helping to transport them to the ambulances,” Biloshitsky said.
People were pulled from collapsed apartments
After the strike, police officers also worked alongside rescue workers. They helped evacuate people from damaged buildings and free those trapped in collapsed apartments. All emergency services continue to operate at the scene. Law enforcement officers, rescue workers, and medical personnel are clearing debris, assisting the injured, and dealing with the aftermath of the attack.
Biloshitsky expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. “My condolences to the families who lost their loved ones tonight. I wish the injured a speedy recovery,” he said.

The Russian attack last night was one of the most cynical and large-scale strikes against Ukraine, said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv, near the “Auchan” hypermarket on Zdolbunivska Street, a dangerous object was discovered which, according to preliminary data, may be a cluster munition from an X-101 missile.
