Thirty-nine people were saved, 75 were injured,” Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Valentyn Reznichenko said on social media. He added that the “fate of another 35 residents of the building is unknown” as the search for survivors was continuing nearly 40 hours after the strike. An earlier toll from rescuers had stood at 30.
