On 14 January 2023 at about 3:30 p.m., a Russian Kh-22 missile struck a nine-story residential building in Dnipro, Ukraine, on Naberezhna Peremohy St, 118,[4][5] Sobornyi District in the right-bank part of the city, destroying one entrance and 236 apartments.[6] On 19 January the official casualty rate was stated as 46 people killed (including 6 children[3]) and 80 injured[1][2] (12 in critical condition)[7] and 11 people reported missing.[1] 14 children were reported injured, and 39 inhabitants were rescued.[8] The destruction left about 400 people homeless.[9] The strike was part of months-long campaign of Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure that also had hit Dnipro.

This strike was the deadliest Russian attack on a residential building in Ukraine in the previous six months.[10] A three-day period of mourning was declared in Dnipro.[11]
