Dnipro: Russian missiles hit apartment block and security service building

 

 

At least nine people have been injured including two children after missiles hit two buildings in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, officials say.

A BBC team on the ground confirmed the top floor of a large residential tower block was almost completely destroyed in the strike on Friday evening.

A building belonging to Ukraine's security services (SBU) was also hit, President Volodymyr Zelensky says.

He blamed "Russian missile terror".

Mr Zelensky posted a video on Telegram showing smoke rising from damaged buildings and a fire at street level.

 

He said he had convened emergency meetings with the SBU, interior ministry, emergency services and local officials following the incident.
