DNIPRO, Ukraine – The death toll from a Russian missile strike on an apartment building in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro rose to 21 on Sunday, as rescuers raced to sift through a massive mound of wreckage in search of survivors.

At least 35 people were still missing, and 73 were injured, according to Mykola Lukashuk, the regional council’s head, who posted on the Telegram messaging app.

“Russian killers, burn in hell,” he wrote. Rescuers toiled through the night searching for survivors. On Sunday morning, they could be seen punching and kicking through heaped mounds of smashed concrete and twisted metal.

Emergency workers said they had heard people screaming for help from underneath piles of debris and were using moments of silence to help direct their efforts.
