A Russian missile strike hit an apartment building in Ukraine, injuring at least 25 civilians in a residential area. The early morning attack created widespread destruction, shattering windows and setting parts of the building on fire, according to Ukrainian authorities. Emergency response teams were on the scene shortly after, rescuing civilians from the rubble and assisting those wounded.
Witnesses described the explosion as devastating, with families scrambling to safety as the building’s structure shook from the blast. Many were still sleeping when the missile hit, making the impact particularly shocking. Medical responders transported the injured to nearby hospitals, with some reportedly in critical condition.
The attack underscores the ongoing dangers civilians face in war-torn regions, as Ukrainian officials continue to call for stronger international intervention. This missile strike is part of a larger series of escalations, with both sides in the conflict increasing the intensity of their operations despite international pressure for a ceasefire.
