Dnipro residents joined official rescue workers on Saturday (January 14) in looking for survivors trapped under the rubble after a Russian missile hit an apartment block.

The strike flattened a nine-storey apartment block, killing at least five people.

One woman was seen being led by rescue workers away from the pile of rubble. She was later placed on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance.

Fifteen people were rescued after being buried under a section of an apartment block that was reduced to rubble in the east-central city of Dnipro, where smoke billowed into the sky, the deputy head of Ukraine's presidential office said.

At least 60 people, including twelve children, were also wounded in the attack, with more people were still trapped under the rubble, the regional governor said.

White smoke rose between the rubble of the two partially destroyed apartment buildings. A broad chunk of one apartment block was missing. The exterior of the rest of the building was badly damaged.

President Volodymr Zelenskyy tweeted a video of the aftermath, adding "eternal memory to all whose lives were taken by [Russian] terror! The world must stop evil. Debris clearance in Dnipro continues. All services are working. We're fighting for every person, every life. We'll find everyone involved in terror. Everyone will bear responsibility. Utmost."
