The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) team, together with other rescue services, is working at the site of the Russian guided aerial bomb hit in Kharkiv, where a multi-story residential building was damaged.

"Six crews of volunteers from the URCS Kharkiv regional rapid response unit, together with rescuers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the canine service, pulled people out from under the rubble. Volunteers also went door-to-door to find victims, provided first aid and handed them over to ambulances, and helped evacuate from the damaged building," the URCS reported on Facebook on Thursday.
