Temporary apartment for Rostov victim's family

A drone attacked the Leventsovsky district of Rostov-on-Don overnight on 14 January. During the rubble clearance, the body of a man was discovered in one of the apartments.

The deceased was identified as Sergey Govorkov, a member of the Rostov Federation of Kyokushinkai Karate-do. According to neighbors, he saved his wife and four-year-old son by sheltering them in the hallway at the cost of his own life.

The woman sustained burns and is in a medical facility. The child was unharmed and is currently with his grandmother, awaiting his mother«s return.

The city administration has allocated the family a two-room apartment from the temporary housing stock for the period of restoration of their destroyed home. “During the attack, the head of the family died. His wife is undergoing treatment in the hospital, and the four-year-old son is waiting for his mother together with his grandmother. The city administration has allocated the family a new two-room apartment from the temporary housing stock for the duration of the restoration of the house in Leventsovsky,” the administration reported.

Heating, electricity, and gas have already been connected in the provided housing, and furniture is being installed. The Chairman of the City Duma, Lidiya Novoseltseva, promised that “Alexandra and her son will not be left alone.”

The entrance of the multi-story building that was hit by the drone is severely damaged. Initially there was a threat of collapse, but experts concluded that the structure can be saved. Nevertheless, residents have not yet been able to return to their apartments.
