In Dnipropetrovsk, rubble continues to be removed from the site of a Russian missile hitting a block of flats on the Pobeda housing estate.



The number of casualties in the Russian strike on the Dnipropetrovsk apartment building has risen to 29, with 73 people injured, Dnipropetrovsk regional state administration head Valentyn Reznichenko said on Telegram:

A 27-year-old woman was pulled out of the rubble this afternoon. She is in intensive care with severe hypothermia. Doctors are fighting for her life. A total of 39 residents of the house were rescued from under the rubble. The fate of over 40 others is unknown. An enemy missile killed 29 people. 73 are injured, 30 of them are in hospital, 12 are serious

He stressed that firefighters finally extinguished the fire that broke out in the house as a result of the strike. About half of the structures destroyed by the Russian missile have already been dismantled.

Reznichenko said that the search and rescue operation in Dnipro has been going on for more than a day:

More than 550 rescuers, policemen, doctors, utility workers and volunteers are working non-stop. About half of the structures broken by the Russian missile have already been dismantled

Dnieper Mayor Boris Filatov earlier said in a televised marathon that the rescue operation will probably continue until 3 a.m.

According to him, the city offered temporary shelter in prepared places in schools and a children's club for everyone whose homes were damaged. Volunteers and ordinary people brought a lot of clothes and food to the established support points.

We shall remind you that on 14 January, Russians hit a residential building in Dnipropetrovsk during mass shelling of Ukrainian territory. 72 flats in the Dnipropetrovsk house were destroyed as a result of Russian shelling.
