Rescue services are looking for 24 missing persons, including a child, who live in the attacked building in the town of Chasiv Yar
At least 15 people have died and another 24 remain missing under the rubble of a building hit by a Russian missile in Chasiv Yar, a town located in the Donetsk region, which is being subjected to intense bombardment this weekend. “At 1:00 p.m. (local time) the bodies of 15 people dead at the scene have been found during the emergency rescue operations and another five people have been rescued from the rubble,” the Emergency Service recently informed the agencies. of local press.
The teams work tirelessly among the ruins in search of another 24 residents who, according to different witnesses, would be neighbors of the apartment block whom no one has seen since the explosion. Among them is a 9-year-old boy. The rocket has hit the facade and a large part of the structure has collapsed on the only two entrances to the building, so several people would have been trapped inside. A total of 67 firefighters and rescuers are removing the debris.
The Russian authorities have not made any statement about this attack, although in the last three weeks there have been other bombings on residential areas or against the Kremenchuck shopping center, in which 18 people were killed and several more are still missing. The artillery offensive has intensified in the Donetsk province since this past week the invading Army took control of Lisichansk and declared the conquest of the neighboring Lugansk region complete. Chasiv Yar is less than 20 kilometers from Lisichansk, within range of Russian guns. The General Staff calculates that in less than 48 hours there have been more than two hundred bombardments on Ukrainian areas, which continue to be under intense aerial and artillery fire.
