In Kharkiv, law enforcement officers identified another person killed in the Russian strike on the Epicenter. It was a 38-year-old man who worked in a construction hypermarket.

The day before, his 8-year-old son Mykhailo took a DNA test, which helped to identify the victim. This was reported by the press service of the Kharkiv regional police.

The body of the deceased was identified on the night of May 28 by DNA analysis taken from the child. The boy and his mother came to the headquarters of the investigative department because they could not wait for their father to come home from work. DNA samples were taken from the child because he is a direct relative of the deceased man.

Now forensic experts can confirm for sure that the found body belongs to Mykhailo's father. Oleksandr, 38, worked in a hypermarket, and the Russians killed him by dropping two bombs on the hypermarket in the middle of the working day.

As of 6 a.m. on May 28, the police had identified 16 of the 17 dead bodies. Search operations continue. Citizens who have lost contact with their loved ones can call the police at 0934943162 or 102.

As a reminder, an unexploded Russian bomb was found in Kharkiv, 80 meters from the Epicenter construction hypermarket, which was subjected to enemy air strikes on May 25. It is also a D-30 unified interspecies planning munition (UMPM).
