Rescuers have been racing to find survivors at an apartment complex attacked by Russian forces on Saturday. At least 40 people were killed, and more than 25 others are missing and feared dead.
Serhii Shova is a squad commander of an emergency crew that has been working at the site since Saturday.
Shova was among the dozens of workers clearing rubble from the first and second floors, removing slabs of concrete that if kept in place, would make it too dangerous for rescue workers to search below them. About 40 people have been rescued from the debris, according to State Emergency Services. On Sunday, Shova and his team helped rescue a woman from the fourth floor of the building, he says. She had been home on Saturday with her husband and their baby, but by the time rescue workers got to their apartment a day after the attack, the child had died of hypothermia. Temperatures in Dnipro are hovering around freezing.
Until Saturday's attack, the city of Dnipro had been considered a safe place, where many displaced Ukrainians from other cities further east have settled. The strike happened in the late afternoon, when many families were home and getting ready for dinner.
