Emergency response concluded in Lutsk following Russian assault, resulting in two fatalities and 30 casualties.
The heartbreaking aftermath of Russia's attack on Lutsk, Ukraine, has been brought to a close, with search and rescue operations having been completed. The tragic loss of life has resulted in the discovery of two bodies, a man and a young girl, entangled in the wreckage of a ninestorey building that suffered extensive damage. The attack left a total of 30 people sustaining injuries.
To provide further clarification, rescue workers had been tirelessly laboring to clear the debris left by the collapsed ninestorey residential building that was struck during Russia's attack on the night of June 5-6. The grim discovery of a girl's body under the rubble of the collapsed entrance section was made this morning. Prior to that, a man's body had already been recovered.
Five residents and several pets were evacuated from the area, while various buildings – both residential and commercial – as well as a workshop, industrial premises, and numerous vehicles sustained significant damage. In the brutally candid words of Ukrainian officials, the attack resulted in massive destruction.
It's important to note that Lutsk was the target of a large-scale drone and missile attack orchestrated by the Russian forces, leading to the partial collapse of the nine-storey residential building. Reports began circulating early on June 6 confirming the tragic death of at least one individual, though the body of a young man was retrieved from the rubble a short time later.
Sources have varied, but it is estimated that the death toll from the attack stands at a heartbreaking minimum of four lives lost, with approximately 25 to 27 injured individuals seeking immediate medical attention. The strike targeted Lutsk with a total of 15 drones and 6 cruise missiles, tearing into the city's infrastructure and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake[1][2][3][4].
