The statement notes that as a result of attacks, significant damage was caused to residential buildings, enterprises and public infrastructure. The UN VSL expressed fear in connection with the “possible increase in the number of victims”.
Earlier, the State Emergency Situations Service of Ukraine reported nine dead and more than 70 victims as a result of a massive blow inflicted on Kyiv on the night of April 24.
