Additionally, at the scene, rescuers quickly set up a mobile invincibility point. Psychologists and medical personnel from the State Emergency Service (SES) are working, and two canine units have been deployed. Comprehensive assistance is being provided to citizens, and special equipment is being used for high-altitude work.
The SES added that emergency and search operations are still ongoing.
Overnight, the Sumy Regional Military Administration reported that, preliminarily, there was one confirmed fatality as a result of the attack. However, local authorities later denied this information.
Later, in reports from the police and the State Emergency Service (SES), only injuries were mentioned. Accordingly, this leads to the conclusion that the information about a fatality was not confirmed.
