Rescuers worked throughout the morning in Uman in hopes of finding survivors who are still trapped in the rubble. On Twitter, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy condemned the strikes, calling the attacks a "night of Russian terror."

One of the people killed in Uman was a 75-year-old woman who was sleeping in a neighboring building. Emergency personnel believe she died from internal bleeding caused by the shockwave of the blast.
