Those killed in the Saturday afternoon strike in Dnipro included six children, with 79 people injured.
Hundreds of residences destroyed in missile strike, which led to Ukraine presidential adviser's resignationA woman reacts during the funeral Tuesday of Mykhailo Korenovskyi, a Ukrainian boxing coach and a father of two, who was killed during the Russian missile attack in Dnipro.
Emergency crews cleared some nine metric tonnes of rubble during a non-stop search and rescue operation, the Dnipro City Council said. Some 400 people lost their homes, with 72 apartments completely ruined and another 236 damaged beyond repair, it said. "We cannot reach the apartment even with rescuers because the apartment is in an emergency and dangerous condition. Walls could collapse there every minute," she said.
Emergency personnel worked at the site on Monday where an apartment block was heavily damaged by a Russian missile strike two days earlier, in Dnipro, Ukraine.Zelenskyy vowed to bring those responsible for the strike to justice, saying it's "a fundamental task" for Ukraine and its Western allies. The ministry noted that the Kh-22 "is notoriously inaccurate when used against ground targets, as its radar guidance system is poor at differentiating targets in urban areas," suggesting that might have been a factor in the deaths in Dnipro.Similar missiles were used in other incidents that caused high civilian casualties, it said, including a strike on a shopping mall in Ukraine's central city of Kremenchuk last summer that officials said killed more than 20 people.
Vasyl Pidluzhnyi was driving home from work in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro and chatting with his wife on the phone when he heard a loud explosion, followed by a massive cloud of thick black smoke from an apartment building about a kilometre away. He told As It Happens host Nil Köksal what happened next.
