Law enforcement officials have identified all the deceased individuals as a result of the strike on the Nova Poshta terminal in the Kharkiv region, according to Suspilne.

The Chief of the Regional Police Investigative Department, Serhiy Bolvinov, has announced the successful identification of the sixth victim. The individual has been identified as a 30-year-old native of the Kamianka Dvorichanska community, who was residing in Kharkiv.

"We have extracted the DNA profile of the deceased and compared it with his father, resulting in a match. His parents did not immediately recognize him due to the severe burns on the body," stated Bolvinov.
