Quote from Terekhov: "A building of an educational institution in the city was seriously damaged as a result of last night’s enemy attack. We are now cutting off the power network so that employees of the State Emergency Service can dismantle the rubble from the inside. No. 27 tram services in this area have been temporarily suspended.

There was no damage to public utilities, but until certain problems have been resolved in this part of the Osnovianskyi District, an emergency power outage mode will be in effect."

Details: A video of the unsafe part of the college being demolished has appeared in the media.

Terekhov added that other strikes were recorded at a service station and a hostel where displaced people were living. Considerable damage was also caused to residential buildings, so roofs will be repaired near the sites of the strikes.

Several people who asked for help were not injured, but are in a state of shock. Doctors are providing them with the psychological support they need.
