Ukrainian authorities say a Russian missile strike has killed at least eight people in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia. A child was said to be among the dead and 22 people were wounded.
Ukrainian police said as many as five people may still be trapped under rubble after Tuesday's attack on a private clinic and residences in the city centre. Rescuers working through the night pulled two women from the rubble.
Later in the day, one of the injured women died in hospital and the body of another victim was recovered from the rubble. As search operations continue, there is concern that the death toll may rise further.
Zaporizhzhia regional head Ivan Fedorov said that Russia would pay for "every Ukrainian life taken and maimed" and offered prayers to the victims' families.
He said, ‘We will not forgive!’
The Zaporizhzhia region announced Wednesday to be a day of mourning.
