At least 18 people missing after missiles strike Vinnytsia, says official
- 23 people including three children died in the west-central Ukrainian city assault
Around 20 people are still missing in Vinnytsia after missiles strike the west-central Ukrainian city on Thursday, said the state emergency agency.
“23 people died (including three children); 71 people (including three children) were hospitalized; 117 people applied for medical help; 18 people remain missing,” the department said on Telegram.
Ukraine's national police said three missiles struck an office building in Vinnytsia, which is located 268 kilometers (167 miles) southwest of the capital, Kyiv.
The Russians launched Kalibr cruise missiles from a submarine in the Black Sea, while the rescue mission is still underway.
Earlier this weekend at least 48 people were killed after a series of rocket launches by Russian forces hit a building in the eastern Ukrainian town, Chasiv Yar.
