Death toll in attack on Kyiv apartment building now stands at 24

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that a Russian missile attack on a Kyiv apartment building the previous day killed 24 people, including three children. Zelenskyy said Friday on X that emergency workers finished digging through the building’s rubble after more than a day. The cruise missile hit the nine-story corner block amid what the Ukrainian air force said was Russia’s biggest barrage of the country since its all-out invasion in 2022. Thursday's assault mostly targeted the Ukrainian capital, where 48 people were wounded, Zelenskyy said.
