At the site of one missile strike, in the Podilskyi district of Kyiv, rescue teams have been working in the ruins of an apartment block with a big hole blown through its middle. <\/p>\n
Specialists have been using sniffer dogs to try to find the missing among the wreckage as cranes lift giant slabs of concrete from collapsed flats, sending bricks crashing to the ground.<\/p>\n
A woman, crying on a bench, was too distraught to talk but a team helping her said two of her relatives were buried in the rubble.<\/p>\n
The BBC spoke to residents who have lost everything, as they queued to register their loss with the police.<\/p>\n
One woman, whose flat was on the eight floor that has now vanished, began to speak only to have to turn away as she sobbed. People here are already drained by four punishing years of this war, and now the aerial attacks are getting worse.<\/p>\n
“After the first blast, nearby, the glass shattered and hit us, almost on our heads. Then everything was shaking,” another woman, Olena, said. <\/p>\n
She admitted that she did not go to the bomb shelter when the sirens wailed because she was exhausted and wanted to sleep before work.<\/p>\n
“I feel like I have calmed down, but I am still trembling all over.”<\/p>\n
Olena had a question of her own about the fact that Ukraine did not manage to stop a single ballistic missile this time.<\/p>\n
“The missiles hit our houses, and that’s terrible. Really scary. It seems we have nothing to intercept them with. So where are our partners? What’s happening? That’s my question,” she said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
