As of now, 55 bodies have been pulled from under the rubble. The identities of 29 people have been established. Another 45 people remain on the missing persons lists. Some of them are likely among those whose bodies have been found."
Details: Semikin said relentless Russian drone attacks are hampering the search, forcing rescue workers to suspend operations from time to time.
