Russian missiles kill mother and children: Putin launches pre-dawn strikes in Ukraine’s largest cities, killing at least five
Dramatic footage shows the horror of a Russian attack on the city of Uman, part of a nighttime blitzkrieg in Ukraine.
Three people were killed and eight injured when a rocket hit a high-rise residential building, said Ihor Taburets, head of the Cherkasy regional administration.
The partially destroyed building went up in flames.
A rescue operation was underway. A haunting video shows a distraught Ukrainian woman after the attack as she shows the wreckage of her flat.
“This morning the occupiers attacked the Cherkasy region,” Taburets said, adding, “Two cruise missiles were hit in Uman – a residential house and warehouses.”

Separately, a young woman, 31, and a two-year-old child were killed when a private home was hit, Borys Filatov, mayor of the central city of Dnipro, said on Telegram.
Rockets destroyed the building of a private company.
A 70-year-old woman was injured.
The massacre was part of a night attack by Russian troops on Ukraine.
Ukrainian sources suggested that some of the attacks were conventional missiles launched by the Russian Tu-95 strategic nuclear aircraft from the Caspian Sea region.
The Ukrainian Air Force claimed to have destroyed 21 of the 23 incoming Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles, as well as two military drones.
Russia immediately claimed that the hits on residential buildings came from “clumsy” Ukrainian air defenses.
Propagandist Vladimir Solovyov claimed, “In Uman, the brave defenders demolished almost the entire entrance of a nine-story building while Russian missiles blasted the [targeted] storage facilities unimpeded.’
A two-year-old girl and her 31-year-old mother were killed in a Russian missile attack in Dnipro last night.
