Ternopil Rescue Operation Ends After Russian Strike That Killed 33 and Injured 94

Officials shift from rescue to investigative work after four days at two destroyed apartment blocks.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said search and rescue concluded at 18:00 on November 22 after a four‑day operation across two impact sites.
  • Responders from nine regions, canine teams, heavy machinery, medics and psychologists worked in hazardous conditions, including manual efforts at the height of the fifth to sixth floors.
  • Final figures reported by officials list 33 dead, including six children, 94 injured, including 18 children, 46 people rescued, including seven children, and six still missing, including one child.
  • Authorities continue investigative and forensic work as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the missile used contained 175 foreign components that he argues are reaching Russia through sanctions evasion.
  • The strike on November 19 involved drones and rockets that damaged two nine‑storey buildings, one hit by fire and another with structural collapse from the third to ninth floors, with about 1,298 tonnes of debris removed during the response.
