Ukrainian MP Accuses Russia of 'War Crime' for Missile Strike on Apartments

A Ukrainian MP said that a missile strike on an apartment block in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia was a "war crime" carried out by Russian forces who intended to step up their attacks on civilian targets.

The strikes came hours after the Kremlin said it was formally seizing Europe's biggest nuclear power plant nearby. Ukrainian emergency services said three bodies have been pulled from the rubble of the five-story apartment block and a three-year-old girl was among those saved.

Local officials said seven rockets hit residential buildings in strikes before dawn on Thursday and again several hours later, and that people are still trapped under the rubble.
