Ukrainian apartment block collapses and leaves eleven dead after missile strike | The Sun

A BATTERED and bloodied man makes a call after a missile strike on a Ukrainian apartment block in which at least 11 died.

Rescue teams were yesterday hunting for survivors in Sloviansk — with officials saying one of the dead was a two-year-old.

President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russia’s “evil” attack on Friday.

Sloviansk, in the Eastern Donetsk, is 28 miles from Bakhmut, the scene of heavy fighting for the past eight months.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is due to take delivery of a Patriot air defence system from the US.

Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands also pledged more missile support.

Biryukov addressed concerns that the new electronic conscription law presaged a broader mobilization of reservists, like one Putin ordered in September.

"And e-draft orders will not be mailed in bulk."
