KYIV, 11 July 2022, (TON): A Russian missile struck an apartment building in eastern Ukraine, killing at least 15 people as Moscow’s forces sought to consolidate their control over the Donbas region.
The local emergency service said “during the rescue operation, 15 bodies were found at the scene and five people were pulled out of the rubble.”
“At least 30 others are under the rubble” of the four-story building after it was hit by a Russian Uragan missile, Donetsk regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said earlier on Telegram.
The building was partially destroyed in the strike, AFP correspondents saw at the scene where dozens of rescuers were sifting through the rubble with a mechanical digger.
Emergency services said “rescuers had so far been able to establish contact with three people under the rubble.”
