Rescuers have completed clearing the rubble of a nine-story building in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv, where a Russian ballistic missile hit on May 14, killing 24 people. Among the dead are two daughters of serviceman Yevgeny Yakovlev, who died at the front three years ago.
This was reported in the capital's lyceum No. 323.
“A Russian missile took the life of a 6-A grade student of our lyceum, Yakovleva Lyubava. Her older sister is still under the rubble. Three years ago, the girls' father, military man Yevgeny Yakovlev (call sign “Ryzhy”), who defended Ukraine, died while performing a combat mission,” reads a post made on the evening of May 14 on the lyceum's Facebook page.
This morning, the State Emergency Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that search operations at the site of the destroyed high-rise building have been completed. 24 people died. Three minors were found under the rubble – a 12-year-old girl and girls aged 15 and 17, said Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko.
People have been carrying flowers and toys to a destroyed house in the Darnytskyi district since yesterday, a correspondent for Suspilny reports.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, together with Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko, today, May 15, honored the memory of those killed near a nine-story building in Kyiv.
Today is a day of mourning in Kyiv in memory of those who died in the attack.
