The death toll from Russian strikes on a 9-storey building in the Dnieper has increased again. However, the State Emergency Service and the City Council report different figures..

In particular, the State Emergency Service reported that as of 13:00 the number of dead civilians had increased to 22 people, including a child. 72 people were injured, including 13 children. In addition, 43 reports of missing persons were received..

In turn, the city council of Dnipro reported 23 dead, including a 15-year-old girl.

At the same time, Mayor Boris Filatov urged to wait for the completion of rescue work, and only then to announce the number of citizens who died from an enemy strike on a residential building.

“I would very much ask the big leaders, or rather, their press services, who every hour declare in a race that the number of victims is growing, there were 10,11,12,13, etc.. take a break and be quiet for a while. Waiting for the end of the rescue work. There will be many victims. Dozens. This is already clear and without endless reports. Do not level the topic in the information space by dispersing the current report of the State Emergency Service, which each of the leaders receives automatically on the phone,” Filatov wrote on Telegram.
