At Least 20 Killed in Russian Attack on Ukrainian Apartment Building

More than 40 people are still unaccounted for from the missile strike, which came as Russia launched a new wave of attacks targeting energy infrastructure across the country.

Russia killed at least 20 people in a missile strike on a Ukrainian apartment building as they launched a new wave of attacks Saturday, including a 15-year-old girl. The attacks largely targeted energy infrastructure buildings throughout the country, with Ukraine’s energy minister warning citizens the days ahead will be “difficult” given threats to electricity and heating supply. The attack on the apartment building in Dnipro caused several floors to collapse, and injured at least 70 more people, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of President Volodymyr Zelensky's office. Zelensky has pleaded for more weaponry from allies in response to the continued attacks, with U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink confirming “more security assistance is coming to help Ukraine defend itself.”
