Russian missiles hit residential areas in an eastern Ukrainian city for the second time in 24 hours as top European Union officials held talks with the government in Kyiv.

The latest strikes in Kramatorsk came as rescue crews searched for survivors in the rubble of an apartment building hit late on Wednesday by a Russian missile which killed at least three people and wounded 21 others.
