(Reuters) – Russia’s defence ministry said on Sunday its forces had launched a wave of missile strikes against Ukrainian military and infrastructure sites on Saturday.
At least 21 people were killed in a strike on a Russian apartment complex in the eastern city of Dnipro in a Russian strike Saturday evening, Ukrainian authorities say.
The Russian defence ministry did not mention Dnipro as a specific target of any strikes.
In its statement Russia said: “All assigned objects were hit. The targets of the strike have been achieved.”
