Russian Missile Strike Ukraine, Killing and Injuring Many People Including Children.

 Russian missile attack kills five and wounds thirty nine people including seven children when Ukrainian apartment block is destroyed as Putin renews his bloodthirsty campaign against civilians.

Harrowing images from the scene show how an entire block was obliterated into a mountain of brick and mortar, with twisted bits of charred metal strewn about nearby streets.

'They (Russians) are just inhuman. At least one stairwell is gone. Under the rubble there are people who were at home for the holiday,' said Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president's office.

Firefighters were deployed to hose down the flames in the aftermath of the attack as rescuers began to pick through the wreckage in the hope of finding survivors. 

Moscow also launched a fresh wave of missile attacks on Kyiv this morning as a series of explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital for the first time since New Year's Day.
