AT least 11 people were killed when Russian missiles hit a residential complex full of sleeping families in the home city of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The five-storey building in Kryvyi Rih, central Ukraine, was engulfed in a fireball in the early hours yesterday.

Kryvyi Rih mayor Oleksandr Vilkul said one person is still believed to be trapped under the rubble and 28 were wounded.

This was one of the bloodiest strikes on Ukraine in recent weeks. In April, 23 were killed, including six children, in one day.

More attacks were launched on the capital Kyiv, although the missiles were shot down.
