- last year
Firefighters worked to clear debris from the scene of a missile strike on the city of Dnipro on Saturday (November 26) .
According to the Dnipro mayor, Borys Filatov, Russia fired "high-precision" missiles at private residences in the city.
"I heard an explosion. And 15 minutes later my sister called and said that there was no contact with my mother and that a missile hit our house," said Oleksii, adding that his mother was in stable condition in hospital.
"It was very scary. I was very worried about my mother."
A representative of the State Emergency Services told Reuters it was a "miracle" that people were alive after the strike.
"At the moment there are no dead, only wounded, all alive," said Oleh Kushniruk.
Russia has targeted critical infrastructure across Ukraine in recent weeks through waves of massive air strikes that have sparked widespread power outages and killed civilians.
The Kremlin has denied that its attacks, which have only galvanised Ukrainian public anger, were aimed at civilians but said on Thursday (November 24) Kyiv could "end the suffering" by meeting Russia's demands to resolve the war.
