Vyshhorod: The Ukrainian Red Cross is providing assistance to people affected by the strike on a residential building

During the night of 30 November, the Ukrainian Red Cross emergency response team in the Kyiv region, working alongside other emergency services, operated at the scene of yet another attack. On arrival, the team set up a support point for affected people: volunteers provided first aid to five individuals with severe injuries before handing them over to emergency medical teams; a further six people with minor injuries also received the necessary first aid. Around 20 affected people and their relatives received psychological first aid.

Together with first responders from the State Emergency Service, volunteers helped evacuate residents from the damaged building. In cooperation with the Kyiv Animal Rescue Group (KARG), they were also able to save 18 pets.

A Ukrainian Red Cross support point is currently operating at the site of the strike, where affected people and emergency workers involved in the response can have tea or water and charge their mobile phones. Humanitarian aid is also being distributed — including plastic sheeting and tarpaulins to help residents of nearby damaged buildings carry out temporary repairs to their homes.

A total of 20 volunteers and four vehicles were involved in the response.

According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, another Russian strike targeted residential and industrial areas of Vyshhorod that night. The attack caused a fire and partial destruction of a multi-storey residential building: the blaze engulfed flats from the first to the sixth floor of a nine-storey block. Kyiv Regional Military Administration reported 19 people injured, including four children. One person was killed. Eleven people sustained injuries of varying severity, including burns, shrapnel wounds, limb injuries and smoke inhalation.

Response operations are ongoing.
