The rescue operation is ongoing with more than 40 people still unaccounted for.
"We are fighting for every person, every life," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media.
The Ukrainian Air Force said the Russian missile fired at the apartment block in Dnipro was a Kh-22 -- the same type that hit a busy shopping mall in central Ukraine last summer. Authorities in Kyiv said there was an "attack on the capital." Blasts were heard as early as 6 a.m. local time, according to the head of Kyiv region military administration, Oleksiy Kuleba. Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said strikes hit the city's east bank, where several power facilities were located. The exact locations of the blasts could not be immediately verified by CNN. A thick fog blanketed much of the city.
"The explosions are not connected with the threat from the air or air defense, as well as with any military actions," Pavliuk wrote on the encrypted social media app Telegram. "If there was a threat -- you would have heard the alarm. The cause of the explosions will be reported separately."
