Volunteers from the Ukrainian Red Cross emergency response team in the Kharkiv region carried out door-to-door visits in damaged buildings and surrounding areas to identify injured people, providing first aid and psychological first aid to those affected.

An assistance point is currently operating at the site, where people affected by the attack — including residents of damaged buildings and emergency workers involved in the response — can rest and access water, tea, or coffee.
