Rescuers have reportedly removed over 853 tonnes of debris from the site, and State Emergency Services psychologists have provided assistance to the 100-some of the building’s residents and relatives of the victims.

Eleven people have been rescued from the building, as well as four cats and a dog.

Russia conducted an airstrike on Zaporizhzhia with an S-300 missile overnight on March 2, heavily damaging a residential building.
