4 die in Russian missile attack on residential complex in Ukraine

Kyiv, Mar 2 (EFE).- At least four people have been killed and five are missing after a Russian missile attack on an apartment building in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia on early Thursday, officials said.

Anatoly Kurtev, the acting mayor, earlier said the five-story structure was “nearly completely destroyed.”

Local prosecutors said eight people were injured in the attack and that among the missing was a child.

City authorities added that seven people were hospitalized, including a pregnant woman.

The emergency services said 90 people, including three psychologists, were involved in search and rescue operations.

Last night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said frontline areas were subjected to daily Russian shelling.

“We are keeping each sector of the front under control. In addition to the directions of the front, attention is also paid to the frontline territories, to those cities and districts that are under Russia’s shelling every day and night, under deliberate terror.” EFE
