38 dead, 9 rescued from shelled apartment building after Russian rocket attack, Ukraine officials say

The death toll from a Russian rocket attack that struck a Donetsk apartment building Saturday rose to 38, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday afternoon. The head of the Donetsk regional military administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said on social media earlier in the day that nine wounded people were rescued from the building in Chasiv Yar.

Earlier, video showed a man pulled alive from the rubble of the apartment building.

Russia, which denies deliberately targeting civilians, said on Monday it had "destroyed the temporary deployment point" of a Ukrainian defense unit in Chasiv Yar, Reuters reported.
