"On the evening of June 12, while clearing the rubble, rescuers discovered the body of the sixth deceased person. The search operation lasted 6 days," the State Emergency Service said in a statement.
It is noted that in total, the bodies of 6 deceased people were removed from under the rubble: 3 men and 3 women.
Rescuers, dog teams and heavy equipment of the State Emergency Service, as well as municipal services of the city, were involved in the search; in total, more than 70 tons of concrete and metal structures were dismantled.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on June 7, the russians attacked the city with missiles, KABs and drones; Terekhov called this shelling "the most powerful attack during the entire period of the full-scale war."
As a result of the attack, several production buildings of a civilian enterprise were destroyed, structures collapsed, and large-scale fires broke out.
On June 10, the body of the first deceased was found at the site of the shelling, and at that time it was assumed that five more people could be under the rubble.
As a reminder, on the night of June 12, the russian armed forces again carried out a massive drone attack on Kharkiv. 11 hits were recorded.
18 people were injured, including 5 men, 9 women and 4 children.
