In Kharkiv, rescuers spent five hours freeing a man stuck in a pipe.

A 39-year-old man in Kharkiv got stuck in a pipe with a diameter of 400 mm at an abandoned pumping station and could not get out on his own. This was reported by the 'Glavkom' website, citing the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

The rescue operation lasted nearly five hours. It involved 25 rescuers and 6 units of equipment, as well as 18 municipal workers and 6 units of municipal service equipment.

Thanks to the efforts of the rescuers, the man was able to be pulled out from the metal trap. He was handed over to the medics and taken to the hospital with hypothermia and scratches.

We remind you that in Kostiantynivka, in Donetsk region, a woman was trapped under the rubble for almost a day, but the rescuers managed to pull her out alive.
