Quote from State Emergency Service: "As of 10:00, two people have been killed. First responders have managed to rescue 28 people."

Later, rescue workers recovered the body of another person from under the rubble of a high-rise residential building in the Darnytskyi district following the attack. The death toll has therefore risen to three.
