Another update on Dnipro attack. CW for disturbing video.
Rescue efforts are winding down in Dnipro as chances of finding anyone alive are almost none. A few still remain missing but may have been taken to hospital and just not identified yet.
This is footage taken shortly after the hit.
Death toll is now at 44, 5 are children.
Edit:
As I was writing this the death toll rose to 45. The newest death is a child. Bringing the total of children confirmed killed to 6.
79 injured. 16 are children.
15 remain unidentified. 20, including 4 children still missing.
5 children lost their parents and are orphaned.
These are the kids who died as a result of Russia's attack on a residential building in Dnipro.
This will probably be my last update on this attack.
About the missile:
The missiles used are X-22 cruise missile. Old Soviet era produced, and intended to attack large targets, primarily war ships, and so are not very precise.
Russia doesn't have too many of them but when used, they are extremely hard to intercept with any means Ukraine currently has. They basically have to have air defence right next to the target to have any chance. Only one such attack was shot down by Ukraine so far.
It was the same type used to attack the Mall in Kremenchuk where 20 people were killed and 80 wounded. Then on the Serhiivka resort in Odesa, killing 21 people and injuring 56.
Notice that none of these are military points on any front line.
So far Russia has used them almost entirely on civilian targets.
Missiles meant for strikes in wide open areas on large military and armoured targets are being used against civilian areas.
The Patriot systems Ukraine has been asking for have a higher potential to stop these. Ukraine has been asking for them for months. Finally it seems US is willing. But it will take weeks to get them and train locals to use them. Apparently the Dnipro attack was in response to US announcing the intent on delivering better air defense.
At least 81 people might still be alive if the world just gave Ukraine what they asked for sooner.
I try to be understanding about their fears and hesitations, I really do. But every attack that had a better chance of being survivable had Ukraine been given what it needed earlier and which are being given now, just makes my anger and resentment grow.
