The death toll from Russian missile strikes on eastern Ukraine’s city of Sloviansk has risen to 11 as rescue crews try to reach people trapped in the rubble of an apartment building, Ukrainian authorities said.

Ukraine’s air force said the country will soon have weapons with which to try to prevent attacks like the one on Friday.
