Ukraine war: Chances of more survivors from Dnipro strike minimal - mayor

The mayor of Dnipro has warned there may be no further survivors after Saturday's Russian missile strike on an apartment building in the eastern Ukrainian city.

A whole section of the nine-storey block collapsed and the city administration says at least 35 people died. Rescue efforts are continuing.

At least 35 others are still missing and 75 survivors were injured.

There is "minimal" chance of finding others alive, Mayor Borys Filatov said.

Speaking to state TV in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted that military operations were going to plan.

Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa were also hit on Saturday in attacks which Moscow said were targeted at Ukraine's military and energy infrastructure.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki called the missile strikes "inhuman", adding that "Russia intentionally keeps on committing war crimes against civilians".
