In Sumy, the debris is being cleared at the site of a Russian "Shahed" strike on a high-rise building. Several floors of a panelized building there have collapsed on top of each other.

A spokesperson for the State Emergency Service spoke about the rescue and search operations in the building in a video posted on the Sumy Info Telegram channel. According to him, the building is a panel house, and the upper four floors are now on the ground floor.

"The amount of rubble is very large: concrete slabs and debris. There is still a lot of work to be done," he emphasized.

"The work to eliminate the consequences of the strike has been going on since the first minutes of the strike. In the morning we managed to rescue 10 people from the destroyed house. 5 of them were unblocked. Another 8 were injured," added the rescuer.

At 15:42, the State Emergency Service reported that rescuers unblocked the body of the second victim of the enemy attack while clearing the rubble of a destroyed 5-story building.

"At present, we know about 2 dead and 8 injured people as a result of the nighttime Russian attack on the city. The work is ongoing," the SES said.
