It is currently known that about six months ago, the family evacuated to Hlukhiv from the Esman community. The eldest son, Vasyl, was 21 years old, and the younger son was about to turn 8 years old. However, the only survivor from the family was the father.

As a result of the Russian shelling, 11 people were injured, including two children. The search-and-rescue operation at the site of the enemy strike has been completed.

The Hlukhiv City Council stated that residents whose homes were affected by the enemy attack can contact the Social Protection Office on Kurlyka Street 1/3. There, a headquarters for eliminating the consequences of emergencies is operating. The following documents must be brought: passport, identification number, and proof of property ownership.
