Irina Korolova, a Ukrainian national, is identified as the sixth victim of last night’s terror attack in Jerusalem’s Neve Ya’akov neighborhood.

According to Hebrew media reports, Korolova worked as a caretaker.

There were no immediate details regarding her funeral arrangements.

Earlier today, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that one of the victims was a Ukrainian.

“We share [Israel’s] pain after the terrorist attacks in Jerusalem. Among the victims is a [Ukrainian] woman,” he says on Twitter.

“Sincere condolences to the victims’ families. The crimes were cynically committed on the [International] Holocaust Remembrance Day.”

“Terror must have no place in today’s world. Neither in [Israel] nor in [Ukraine],” he adds.

Seven people were killed in the shooting attack.

Earlier, the names of five of the victims were published. Eli, 48, and Natali Mizrahi, 45, a couple that had gone outside to try and help those who had been shot, Rafael Ben Eliyahu, 56, Asher Natan, 14, and Shaul Hai, 68.
