According to preliminary estimates, in addition to the supermarket, 4 private houses, 9 shops, a car wash, Nova Poshta, trade pavilions and 12 cars were damaged.
According to him, the authorities, police, rescuers, and medics continue to work at the scene of the crime.
Additionally
Oleksandr Ruvin, director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Examinations, said that after each attack, operational services and law enforcement agencies arrive at the scene of the event, where there is destruction and victims.
"At the scene of the events, the parts and debris need to be selected at the scene from the mass of other remnants of destroyed buildings, vehicles, etc. It is easier for a person who has specialized knowledge and considerable experience to ensure the relevant processes. The specific color of the parts and debris, certain technical characteristics, design features, etc. can help to attract attention and highlight the right things," said the director of KSRIFE.
