The death toll in Kharkiv as a result of Russian shelling on May 31 has risen - the search operation continues, as there may still be residents under the rubble in the apartments of the building.
Apostrophe collected the information about the situation in Kharkiv as of the morning.
The Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleg Sinegubov, wrote on Telegram that as of 9:30 a.m. the death toll had increased: "another body of a man was unblocked from the rubble."
The total death toll from the Russian terrorist attack is 5 people.

In turn, Suspilne Kharkiv published a video on its YouTube channel with a 63-year-old man who lived in the house that was hit by the missile. A relative of the victim said that the man's daughter and wife were left under the rubble - the man himself was at work at the time of the strike and received a call after the house was hit.
Another resident noted that the first explosion in Kharkiv occurred around midnight. She wanted to clean the glass, but then the second explosion occurred - the woman's apartment, located on the fourth floor, was completely destroyed.
Earlier, the Head of the Kharkiv Regional Police, Volodymyr Tymoshko, noted that the enemy used S-300 missiles to attack, striking at least 5-6 times. Tymoshko believes that the occupiers tried to aim with the first strike and then strike again.
