According to Klymenko, Kyiv suffered the most:
"... rescuers worked at 13 locations. Tragic consequences in the Svyatoshyn district. The rubble of the destroyed building is still being cleared there. Engineering forces, SES climbers, and search dogs are involved. Phone calls can be heard from under the ruins - the search will continue until they are sure that everyone has been rescued. There is information about two children who still cannot be found at the scene."
Police are also going around apartments in nearby buildings and checking on people's condition.

A 39-year-old rescuer was injured," the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine specified.
He notes that attacks on civilians, on emergency services while rescuing people, are the enemy's style:
"We have experienced this repeatedly. That is why Ukraine insists on a complete and immediate ceasefire, because this is, first and foremost, an end to the killings of our people."
