The death toll from Saturday’s Russian missile strike on an apartment building in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro has risen to 40, as rescue workers continued to sift through the mountain of concrete in the hope of finding survivors.

At least 30 people are still missing and a further 75 injured, according to local authorities, after the building was split in two with its middle reduced to rubble.
