15 killed and 24 trapped after Russian missile hits apartment building, Ukraine says

At least 15 people were killed and 24 feared buried after Russian missiles hit a city in eastern Ukraine, destroying part of a five-storey apartment building, officials said on Sunday.

Photos and a video of what appeared to be the aftermath of the attack in Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk province showed grim-faced rescuers atop a huge pile of rubble. They sifted through broken bricks, mangled metal wiring and crumbled cement beams next to a half-collapsed building.

The images were shared by Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of Donetsk Oblast in the eastern Donbas region, and the Interior Ministry.

“The search and rescue operation continues,” Kyrylenko told Ukrainian television. “We have more proof of Russia’s crimes, that they shell residential areas of any community, whether it’s close to the front lines or not.”
