Ukraine's death toll from intensified Russian attacks has climbed to at least 28 people, according to official accounts released Tuesday. President Zelensky disclosed that the victims included children as young as 12 months old, alongside an eight-year-old child. Recovery efforts continued into the evening as emergency personnel extracted additional bodies from collapsed structures across affected areas.
The Ukrainian interior ministry reported that rescue workers pulled another child's body from rubble during evening operations, underscoring the ongoing challenges faced by first responders in the aftermath of the strikes. The exact locations and nature of the targets remained under assessment as investigations continued.
