Three days after a Russian Kh-22 missile struck an apartment building in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the search and rescue operation was completed, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The body of another child has been found in the debris on Jan. 17, bringing the death toll of the attack to 45, according to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Valentyn Reznichenko.
In total, at least six children were killed in the strike. The strike also left 79 injured, including 16 children.
Zelensky said that about 1,700 people lived in the high-rise building that was hit; 230 apartments were damaged, and 72 were completely destroyed by Russia's attack.
"I instructed (authorities) to simplify and speed up the provision of assistance to the victims so that people could start rebuilding their lives after this tragedy as soon as possible," Zelensky said on Jan. 17.
He added that Ukraine is carrying out an investigation to clarify all the circumstances and identify "all those involved in this crime of Russia against civilians."
"We will definitely find everyone who caused this terror. Everyone involved in this and other missile attacks against Ukraine will be found and held to account," he wrote.
While 19 people are still missing, the State Emergency Service said it doesn't expect to find many more survivors.
