Ukrainian forces shot down 21 of 33 missiles fired by Russia at targets across Ukraine, Ukraine’s top military commander, Valery Zaluzny, announced.

Ukraine shot down 18 of 28 Russian cruise missiles and 3 of 5 air-to-surface missiles, he said.

An apartment building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro was heavily damaged in a Russian missile attack today and people are trapped under the rubble, said Kirylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the Ukrainian president’s office.

“They (the Russians) are just inhumane. At least one stairwell has been destroyed. Under the rubble are people who were in their homes,” he said.

According to the latest official information, at least five people died in the bombing of the apartment building and another 27 were injured, including six children.

Russian missiles hit critical infrastructure in Ukraine’s Kharkiv and Lviv provinces in the eastern and western parts of the country respectively, local officials said.

The mayor of Kyiv said that explosions could be heard in the capital and that air defenses were in operation.
