A missile destroyed an entrance in Kharkiv: three bodies recovered from the rubble
People may still be trapped beneath the rubble; the search operation is ongoing
After a massive Russian missile attack on Kharkiv, the bodies of three people killed were recovered from the rubble of a residential building. At least 15 people were injured, including one employee of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES).
The most severe damage was in Kharkiv’s Kholodnohirskyi District. A Russian missile struck a four-story residential building there and destroyed one of its entrances.
Four people were rescued from the damaged building. Others may still be trapped under the rubble. Despite the risk of further strikes, rescuers are clearing the collapsed structures and searching for possible victims.
The response involves:
- SES personnel;
- police officers;
- medical workers;
- canine teams;
- volunteers;
- municipal services.
Psychologists are providing support to those who survived the attack.
The shelling also sparked fires in Kholodnohirskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts. Rescuers have already extinguished four fires. Firefighting and search-and-rescue operations are ongoing at the site of the missile strike.
