A total of 382 people were rescued. Pyrotechnists of the State Emergency Service carried out 721 involvements and neutralised 1,454 explosive devices.

Meanwhile, it became known that the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, in cooperation with the Lviv Regional Military Administration (LRMA), will help resolve issues related to the accommodation of internally displaced persons.
