The Russian strike on a residential building in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro has killed 40 people, according to an updated death toll from the Ukrainian emergency services.
In a Telegram update on Monday the emergency services agency said that 40 people, including three children, had died.
In addition, 39 people have been rescued, 75 were injured and 46 are still reported missing.
The building was hit on Saturday, and a Russian Kh-22 missile was used in the attack, the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed forces said Sunday.
Originally designed as an anti-ship missile, the Kh-22 is an older and less accurate weapon than most modern missiles.
