After the rocket attacks yesterday in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, 38 people were pulled from the wrecked apartment building. More than 74 individuals were discovered injured after a nightlong rescue effort, and 20 people—including a child—were found dead.

The city has proclaimed three days of mourning. Yesterday, intense missile attacks were launched against Ukraine as a whole, with Dnipro taking the brunt of the damage.

Three small fires were extinguished in the rubble, according to the State Emergency Service. Search and rescue efforts and the removal of hazardous structural components are ongoing. Over 40 people’s whereabouts beneath the debris are still unknown, according to Valentin Reznichenko, chief of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration.

Russia attacked a residential complex on Saturday, damaging more than 230 apartments while destroying 72, the building’s shattered structures are still being taken apart. According to Reznichenko, around 3,500 tonnes of debris had already been removed.

According to Yury Ignat, the spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, the Russian army fired an X-22 missile at the nine-story residential building in Dnipro, which is intended to strike aircraft carrier groups at sea. They refer to X-22 as the “killer of aircraft carriers” in slang.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced his nation’s desire to give some of its tanks and other artillery systems to Ukraine. According to Sunak’s office, as cited by Reuters, he did this while speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over the phone.

Earlier, a number of media sources indicated that Britain and Ukraine were talking about the potential of Ukraine receiving support from the British army’s main combat tank, the Challenger, in the conflict with Russia.
