This footage shows firefighters tackling blazes and rescuers removing injured civilians from damaged buildings after an overnight Russian attack killed six people in Dnipro including a rescue worker and injured 36 others.
The footage was obtained from the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine on 2nd June and shows the incident in the city of Dnipro, in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Video from the scene shows emergency crews extinguishing fires at damaged buildings and working among debris left by the strike to remove survivors.
The SES of Ukraine said in a statement: "As a result of the enemy attack in Dnipropetrovsk region, six people were killed, including one rescuer, and another 36 were injured.
"At night, the enemy attacked the city of Dnipro. During the work of SES units, the occupiers carried out a repeated strike, as a result of which a rescuer was killed.
"As a result of the shelling in the city, two-storey and four-storey apartment buildings and an enterprise were partially destroyed, garages and cars were destroyed.
"A fire and rescue unit was also damaged, with windows blown out in the building by the blast wave. Firefighters extinguished the fires that broke out.
"Currently, the search and rescue operation is ongoing. People are likely to be under the rubble of the destroyed four-storey building.
"SES dog handlers and psychologists are working at the scene.
"In the city of Kamianske, a fire broke out on the second floor of a five-storey residential building as a result of the attack. An administrative building and a one-storey residential house were also damaged."
According to Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration head Oleksandr Hanzha, three people in Kamianske were hospitalised with injuries including a 72-year-old woman who suffered burns.
Ukrainian officials also said the heaviest impact of the overnight assault was felt in Kyiv and Dnipro.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said four people were killed in the capital and 58 others were wounded, including two children, while authorities in Dnipro have so far reported six deaths and 36 injuries.
