In Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, search-and-rescue operations have continued for a seventh day following a Russian strike on 2 November.
This was reported by Mykhailo Semikin, acting head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
So far, the bodies of 55 people have been recovered from the rubble. Forty-five people are listed as missing. Some of them are likely among those whose bodies have already been found.
The work is being complicated by constant attacks by enemy drones. Because of the danger, rescuers have to suspend the search periodically.
“For now, we cannot say when the operation will be completed,” Semikin added.
- This morning, Russian forces attacked rescuers in Komyshuvakha with a drone. Emergency workers were carrying out rescue operations at the site of an air strike on a shelter.
- As a result of the targeted attack, personnel were not injured. However, specialised rescue equipment was damaged.
