Russian strike on Mykolaiv: Body of first victim retrieved from under rubble, 19 wounded

Rescuers have retrieved from under the rubble the body of the first victim of a Russian nighttime missile attack on Mykolaiv, and they are looking for one more person.

Iliana Patsiuk, the spokeswoman for the State Emergency Service's main office in the Mykolaiv region, told this to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"Yes, the rescuers have recovered the man's body from under the rubble. Now they are looking for one more person," Patsiuk said.

On July 20, 2023, at around 03:00, the Russian military used two cruise missiles, likely Kh-22s, to attack residential areas in downtown Mykolaiv. Nineteen civilians, including five children, were injured.
