The July 31 attack targeted the city center, destroying two sections of a five-story residential building and leaving several people trapped under the rubble.

Emergency crews continued rescue and recovery operations, removing 780 tons of debris and recovering one body along with additional human remains, which were handed over to the National Police for identification.

Russia started its "special military operation" in Ukraine in February 2022 to "denazify" and "demilitarize" Ukraine.

According to its memorandum for the settlement of the conflict, Moscow has demanded a ban on Kyiv joining military alliances and withdrawal of Ukraine's troops from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, the regions it annexed after a referendum in September 2022, among others.

Ukraine has called the terms an "ultimatum" and has called for a ceasefire as a prerequisite for meaningful talks.
