3 years ago, russians hit high-rise building in Dnipro: 46 people were killed
On January 14, 2023, the russian invaders hit a high-rise building in Dnipro with a missile, which destroyed the entrance and killed 46 people, including six children. Ukrainian News Agency recalls the details of the tragedy.
The russians hit with a Kh-22 missile.
"This type of missile leads to the greatest human casualties, because the missile is extremely inaccurate, has a huge deviation. Therefore, the use of such weapons against targets in densely populated areas is clearly a war crime," the Prosecutor General's Office wrote.
The rescue operation lasted 69 hours. A total of 39 people were saved (including 6 children), 79 people were injured (including 16 children). 236 apartments were destroyed, more than 400 people were left homeless.

In 2024, the film "Victory 118" was released.

The heroes of the film are the residents of the house and eyewitnesses to the events.
