The deployment of aid and the declaration of mourning took place against the backdrop of the catastrophic consequences of another shelling. As of now, the deaths of 11 people in Kyiv itself have been officially confirmed, including children. The number of injured in the city has reached 43 people, and medics continue to provide them with the necessary emergency care in hospitals.
The most difficult situation remains in the Podilskyi district of the capital, where continuous emergency rescue operations are underway at the impact site of a nine-story residential building.
There, large-scale destruction of structures occurred from the ninth to the fifth floor, and the SES detachment is clearing reinforced concrete slabs amidst kilometers of debris in search of those who are out of contact.
In total, at least 15 residential buildings in several districts of the city suffered damage and destruction of varying degrees, and in the Kyiv region, the city of Vyshneve suffered the most destruction, where three people died and another 15 were injured due to the combined attack.
