Another air strike against the Ukrainian Black Sea city of Odesa caused serious damage to a 9-story residential complex last night. The damage is concentrated between the 5th and 8th floors, with the most severely affected areas subjected to intense fires.
Rescue teams managed to evacuate a total of 38 people - five directly from blocked apartments and 33 residents from the building. Psychologists from the State Emergency Service and the National Police were immediately mobilized on-site to assist the victims.
Clearing the rubble is being carried out with increased caution due to the risk of additional collapses. A specialized seismographic device is monitoring the dynamics of the destroyed structures, with rescuers establishing an emergency point immediately next to the building.
Parallel to the operation in the residential complex, rescue services also worked on other incidents - a fire in a private property and at a gas station. Currently, there are three injured. The large-scale rescue operation involves 26 technical means and 112 rescuers.
