KYIV, Ukraine (AP) \u2014 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday that a Russian missile attack on a Kyiv apartment building the previous day killed 24 people, including what local officials said were three teenagers.<\/p>

Emergency workers finished digging through the building\u2019s rubble after more than a day, Zelenskyy said on X.<\/p>\n

The cruise missile hit the nine-story corner block during what the Ukrainian air force said was Russia\u2019s biggest barrage of the country since its all-out invasion.<\/p>\n

The assault mostly targeted the Ukrainian capital, where 48 people were wounded, including two children, Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n

Russia hammered Ukraine with large-scale aerial attacks in the days following a May 9-11 ceasefire that U.S. President Donald Trump said he asked Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin to observe. Fighting went on over those 72 hours, although reportedly on a lesser scale.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s attacks ran counter to recent suggestions from Trump and Putin that the war, now in its fifth year, is close to ending.<\/p>\n
