According to the minister, there are two dead and 15 injured inside the children's hospital.
"We are conducting rescue operations to free people from the rubble as quickly as possible. These are children, possibly medical staff. We cannot get in touch with at least 2 doctors. We still have about 1:15-1:20 to dismantle the main rubble to give people air," added Klymenko.
