As of now, we know of dozens of people wounded, including children and a pregnant woman. Unfortunately, four people have died. My condolences to their families and loved ones,” the post reads.

"Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko has already reported on the progress of rescue operations in the field. I thank everyone who is helping our people.
