Russian missiles kill five in Ukraine’s Dnipro

A Russian missile slammed into a nine storey block of flats in the city of Dnipro this afternoon – as people were at home for the Orthodox New Year holiday.

At least five people have been killed, and 39 others injured, including several children, one as young as three – rescuers are still trying to dig people out of the rubble.

Ukraine says it shot down 25 out of the 38 missiles fired by Russia in two waves of attacks today.
