BREAKING: The death toll has risen to 23 from a Russian missile strike on an apartment building in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. The casualties were the worst from a barrage of Russian strikes on several cities in Ukraine on Saturday.
“There are no military facilities here. There is nothing here,” he said. “There is no air defense, there are no military bases here. It just hit civilians, innocent people.”
“This is clearly terrorism and all this is simply not human,” one local, Artem Myzychenko, said as he cleared rubble. “All designated targets have been hit. The goal of the attack has been achieved,” a ministry statement posted on Telegram said. It said missiles were fired “on the military command and control system of Ukraine and related energy facilities,” and did not mention the attack on the Dnipro residential building.On Sunday, Russian forces attacked a residential area in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, regional Gov. Yaroslav Yanushevych said in a Telegram post.
If the Russian forces win full control of Soledar it would allow them to inch closer to the bigger city of Bakhmut. The battle for Bakhmut has raged for months, causing substantial casualties on both sides.
