Missile attack on Kharkiv: death toll increased

“The body of the 9th victim was found between the destroyed house and the garage. Preliminarily, this is the body of a woman,” law enforcement officials said.

The prosecutor’s office said that, most likely, during a direct missile hit, the woman was thrown out of the apartment onto the street and covered with the structures of the destroyed entrance.

“As of now, 9 people are known to have died as a result of enemy shelling in the Novobavarskyi district of Kharkiv,” said the head of the RMA.

Sinegubov said that among the dead were three women aged 39, 68 and 86 years old and four men aged 52, 64, 41 and 28 years old. According to him, this afternoon rescuers discovered the bodies of two more victims. Their details are still being established.
