The death toll from a Russian missile attack on Sloviansk has climbed to nine after rescuers found the body of a woman.
Veronika Bakhal, the spokeswoman for the Ukrainian State Emergency Service office in the Donetsk region, told this to Suspilne, according to Ukrinform.
"As of 23:50, rescuers recovered the body of a dead woman from under the rubble of an apartment building in Sloviansk. The search for four more people is ongoing," Bakhal said.
