The death toll from a Russian missile strike on an apartment building in the south-eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro has risen to 25, the local government reported, as rescue workers scrambled to pull survivors from the rubble.

Emergency crews worked through the night amid freezing temperatures at the multi-storey residential building, the site of the worst casualties from a widespread Russian barrage on Saturday.
