Moscow, 15 January 2023 (dpa/MIA) – The number of dead has risen to 20 after a Russian missile attack that hit a high-rise apartment building in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Saturday, according to official figures.
By Sunday morning, 73 injured people had been rescued from the rubble of the partially collapsed high-rise building, including 14 children, the Ukrainian Civil Defence announced on Telegram. The search for missing people is continuing.
Cries for help from trapped residents could still be heard from the rubble hours after the impact.
The attack on Dnipro was the most serious of several attacks on Saturday. An air alert was temporarily in effect throughout the country.
The leadership in Kiev strongly condemned the attacks against the civilian population and once again spoke of “Russian terror.”
Besides Dnipro, other areas hit on Saturday included Odessa in the south, Kharkiv in the east, Lviv in the west and the capital Kiev. Civilian infrastructure, including electricity sites, were once again damaged and power outages were reported.
The Ukrainian military said that 25 of 38 Russian missiles were shot down.
