Rescuers have completed search and rescue operations after a Russian missile struck a residential building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk on Feb. 1, the State Emergency Service reported on Facebook on Feb. 3.
The agency said that at 10:40 p.m. on Feb. 2, during emergency rescue operations at the scene of the tragedy, rescuers retrieved the body of a dead woman from under the rubble.
In total, the bodies of four dead people were retrieved from under the rubble, while two people were rescued. 18 people were injured.

A Russian shelling attack killed at least three people in Kramatorsk late on Feb. 1.

Early on Feb. 2, some 20 people were reported wounded as the search for possible survivors continued.
