02:43At least one person was killed and 12 others injured in an alleged missile attack on a nine-storey residential building on Dnipro on Friday, Regional Governor Serhiy Lysak reported.
The four upper floors collapsed after the attack. Rescuers were seen trying to free those trapped in the building. Firefighters were spotted extinguishing the fire, which was later reported to be under control.
According to Lysak, 12 people had been injured, including a 7-month-old infant, three of them in severe condition.
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky claimed that a Russian rocket hit the residential building, demanding West to provide more air defence systems.
Russia has not commented on the specific strike at the time of publication. Moscow has repeatedly denied hitting civilian infrastructure and insisted only military-linked sites were targeted.
Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.
Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
