On the night of July 24, Russia attacked a number of civilian objects in Odessa. According to the State Emergency Service, the 9-story building on Moldavanka was the most damaged by the strike. Apartments from the 5th to 8th floors were completely destroyed – and concrete floor slabs collapsed. A fire also started after the explosion.
Firefighters rescued 5 people from blocked apartments and evacuated 33 residents. The search for the victims is complicated by the possible collapse of the building’s structures. Psychologists from the State Emergency Service and the National Police worked with local residents.
