As of now, 2 people are known to have been killed by yesterday's shelling by the occupiers’ forces."

Details: Earlier, rescue workers had removed the body of a 30-year-old woman from under the rubble.

On the night of 25 July, the Russians conducted missile attacks on civilian targets in the hromada [amalgamated territorial community], including the cultural centre.

The basement of the premises served as a shelter, because the Chuhuiv area has been under constant shelling by the occupiers for several weeks.

On Monday, 4 people were rescued from the rubble.

Background:

On 25 July, Russian troops shelled Chuhuiv, in the Kharkiv region, hitting a school and the Cultural Centre. It was reported that three people were rescued from the rubble.
