He noted that these figures are still being updated as the number of victims continues to grow. At the same time, according to rescuers, there could have been many more victims - many were saved by the fact that they were in shelters at the time of the attack. This literally saved dozens of lives.

Mayor Borys Filatov said that the buildings of 19 schools, 10 kindergartens, a vocational school, a music school, out-of-school institutions and a social security department were damaged in Dnipro. Eight medical facilities, including a hospital and a dental clinic, were also damaged.

More than 70 rescuers, 17 vehicles and all emergency services are working at the scene. They are helping the victims and eliminating the consequences of the shelling.
