Quote: "As of 17:30, the nighttime Russian strikes on Ukraine have killed 12 people. Of these, 10 were in Kyiv and two more were recovered from the rubble in Odesa.

Operational information is unfortunately often subject to correction. During search and rescue operations, body parts may be found that were initially recorded as separate fatalities. Final confirmation is provided by forensic experts after analysis in a mobile DNA laboratory."

Details: Klymenko noted that emergency workers and police are continuing to work at the sites of attacks on residential infrastructure. Rescue operations are ongoing at two locations in Kyiv where people remain trapped under the rubble. "The work will not stop until everyone is found," Klymenko promised.
