The number of victims in Kyiv has increased due to night shelling. There may still be people under the rubble

In Kyiv, due to the Russian combined shelling on the night of June 17, the number of confirmed deaths as of 18:40 reached 13 people.

This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing – there may still be people under the rubble.

Why do the data on the deaths from the attack change during the day? The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ihor Klymenko, explained that during search and rescue operations, body parts may be discovered, which are initially recorded as individual victims. The final confirmation is given by forensic experts after analysis in a mobile DNA laboratory. Therefore, operational information is often corrected.
