Two more teams provided on-site outpatient and psychological care.

Yarmolenko noted that medical facilities are fully supplied to provide necessary care for the victims.

"Hospitals are equipped with medications and dressing materials. The four facilities providing care also received assistance from the World Health Organization, dressing materials, which were needed in large quantities," she said.

Yarmolenko also stated that 35 Ternopil residents have died as a result of the Russian attack. Four of them died in medical facilities from their injuries. Thirty-four deceased have been identified, and identification of one more body is ongoing.
