KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian emergency services say the death toll after a Russian missile strike Tuesday on the regional government headquarters in the southern city of Mykolaiv has risen to 20.
The emergency services says rescuers had now found 19 bodies in the ruins since the strike devastated the government building Tuesday morning. One other person died in the hospital.
The regional governor accuses Russia of waiting until people arrived for work before striking the building.
Emergency services say they are still working at the scene.
