At night, while rescuers and volunteers worked tirelessly to help residents of the affected buildings, hundreds of families evacuated in panic. The five-story building and the neighboring buildings lost power. Mayor Igor Terekhov announced the establishment of aid centers where people could warm up with hot tea.  

The mayor also added that the latest strike on the suburbs damaged high-voltage transmission lines, and as a result, there may be power outages in some areas of Kharkiv.
