Parts of human bodies found under rubble after Russian airstrikes in Kramatorsk

Consequences of overnight shelling of residential area

Overnight, Russian armed forces carried out three airstrikes on multi-storey buildings in Kramatorsk, Donetsk region. According to the Kramatorsk City Council, aviation bombs of the FAB-250 and FAB-500 types were used. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine reports on the consequences of the incident.

As a result of these attacks, six apartment buildings and two commercial facilities were damaged. In one of the residential buildings, an entrance block from the first to the ninth floor was completely destroyed.

Rescue operations and search for people

During the clearing of the rubble, emergency services found fragments of human bodies. They were handed over to National Police officers for further identification. Preliminary data suggests that other people may be trapped under the ruins, so search operations are continuing.

The total number of injured is four people. Rescuers, together with municipal services, have already cleared 300 tonnes of building structures. Work will continue, taking into account the current security situation and potential threats to personnel.

Fire suppression

In addition to the destruction, fires broke out as a result of the strikes. The fire engulfed a shop, as well as the private sector: four private houses and garages were burning. Firefighters extinguished all fire sources over a total area of 540 square metres.
