Emergency responders managed to rescue one individual from the rubble during a search operation, and two more people were successfully evacuated from an apartment in a 16-story residential building. Furthermore, several people found themselves trapped in a five-story residential building located in the Solomianskyi district, with a minimum of ten individuals successfully rescued, as per the available information.",
