The death toll has risen to 14 and 20 people are missing from the Russian strike on an apartment building in Dnipro
A Russian missile attack yesterday afternoon destroyed an apartment building in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, resulting in 14 deaths so far.
Rescuers searched for survivors throughout the night, as 20 people were still missing and an undisclosed number of residents remained trapped under the pile of rubble.
“The search operation continues,” Valentin Reznichenko, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region in east-central Ukraine, said in a message on the Telegram platform at 2:50 a.m. (local time and Greek time).
According to him, 38 people were rescued while at least 64 were injured.
The strikes hit critical infrastructure in Kyiv and other regions, causing widespread power outages in the heart of winter in the capital and other large parts of the country that will continue in the coming days, officials warned.
The strikes – the biggest wave of Russian attacks in Ukraine in two weeks – came on the day Ukrainians celebrated the coming of the New Year (based on the Julian calendar).
