In Ternopil, rescuers and police have been working at the strike sites throughout the night. There are reports of 26 missing in the collapsed building, including three children. The Russian attack resulted in the deaths of 26 people, while over a hundred were injured.
“There is a lot of work ahead. The main thing is to find everyone who may be under the rubble. We are searching.”
In the building, where two entrances were completely burnt out, not a single intact apartment remained. Minister Ihor Klymenko noted: 'I walked among the charred walls - it is a terrifying feeling. In each apartment, there is a whole life that was destroyed in an instant by Russia.'
The fire started quickly and spread instantly. People tried to escape through the windows - rescuers evacuated them with special equipment. Unfortunately, 19 people died from the fire.

He also emphasized: 'Alongside painful emotions, there is a lot of strength from the people who are rescuing. Gratitude to everyone! We are searching for every person under the rubble. And we will not stop until we do everything possible for those waiting for their loved ones.'
