After a Russian night attack on Lutsk, rescuers pulled the body of a dead man from the rubble of a 9-story building. The number of wounded has risen to 27, according to Lutsk Mayor Ihor Polishchuk and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU).
“Unfortunately, as of this moment, we have one casualty from a Russian strike, a young man who was found by rescuers under the rubble of a multi-storey building,” says Polishchuk.
The rescuers confirm that they unblocked the body of the deceased while clearing the rubble.
"The number of victims of the nighttime Russian attack in the city has increased to 27 people. Emergency workers are dismantling the structures of the destroyed building. There are probably people under the rubble," the SESU added.

Rescuers from the Rivne region have arrived to help with the rescue operations. Equipment from utility companies and other institutions is being used," the rescuers said.
