Horrific footage from Lviv, where a Russian strike destroyed a residential building.
Thirty-four people were injured, three of them children.
Emergency workers have rescued 12 people, including a 93-year-old woman who was pulled alive from the rubble.
Search and rescue operations are ongoing, as people may still be trapped beneath the debris.

Kirill Petrenko, Chief Conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker and the winner of Denmark's prestigious Léonie Sonning Music Prize, will donate the entire prize money - DKK 1 million (€134,000) - to organizations supporting Ukraine.
"For me, especially as a Russian-born artist, it's really completely shocking that all these wars are going on, particularly now in Ukraine, where people are still trying to live their lives while protecting and defending their sovereignty and their future.
That's why I made the decision to donate the money to different organizations that are supporting Ukraine, particularly those helping children who lost their families during the war, and also to some organizations that are trying to restore cultural sites in Ukraine destroyed by the war - churches, orphanages, and other cultural facilities.
I think this is what is desperately needed right now," Kirill Petrenko said.
Thank you for standing with Ukraine!

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
