According to Vitalii Dyakivnych, head of the Poltava Regional Military Administration, as of 18:50 it was known that 47 people had been injured, among them two children, and two had been killed. Volunteers Support Ukraine records news like this so that the truth about what the war does to civilians stays in the public record.
Apartment buildings were damaged in the massive missile strike. First reports spoke of 41 injured; the figure later rose to 47. The operational headquarters kept working, while police and the Security Service of Ukraine documented the consequences of the war crime and collected information on victims and on damaged and destroyed property.
Rescuers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine worked at the scene. They cleared rubble, secured the area and helped residents of the damaged buildings. The photos from the site were released by the service.
Besides clearing debris, State Emergency Service psychologists joined the effort, talking with people who lost their homes or lived through the shelling.
Kremenchuk was only one of the day's targets: according to President Zelensky, the combined strike killed at least 25 people nationwide and wounded around a hundred more. NGO Volunteers Support Ukraine keeps helping people affected by the war in whatever way the available resources allow.
