Addendum
On February 13, four children from the same family - two boys (13 and 9 years old) and two girls (14 and 12 years old) - were walking on the ice of the Ingulets River. The thin ice broke, and they all fell into the water. A 16-year-old girl who was nearby noticed this. She rushed to rescue the children, but ended up underwater herself. A local resident ran to the scene of the tragedy. He managed to pull out the 16-year-old rescuer and the 12-year-old girl.
At night, the SES divers, using an underwater drone, managed to find and remove the bodies of two children from the water: A 9-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl.
