The major missile attack smashed a nine-story apartment block in Dnipro, killing at least five people, and struck vital energy facilities across the country, Ukrainian officials said.
At least 60 injured as part of building reduced to rubbleZelenskiy calls for more weapons to fight Russia
"Tragedy. I've gone to the site.... We will be going through the rubble all night," said Borys Filatov, mayor of the rocket-making city on the Dnipro River. In his nightly speech, Zelenskiy appealed to the West to supply more weapons to prevent further deaths from what he described as "Russian terror".
Russia, which invaded Ukraine last February, has been pounding its energy infrastructure with missiles and drones since October, causing sweeping blackouts and disruptions to central heating and running water. Ukraine shot down 25 of 38 Russian missiles of different types, the Air Force said. Commenting on the first attack, Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat said Russia's missiles had likely been fired along a high, looping ballistic trajectory from the north, which would explain why the air raid siren did not sound.
