KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Rescue crews have pulled two women from rubble several hours after a Russian missile struck a medical clinic in the southern Ukraine city of Zaporizhzhia. Authorities said Wednesday the strike killed nine people and wounded 22 others. The deadly Russian strikes on civilian areas continue in the almost three-year war. Meanwhile, the United States is warning that Russia may be poised to launch its lethal new intermediate-range ballistic Oreshnik missile against Ukraine again soon. Ukraine’s president again is urging Western partners to send weaponry they are holding in their arsenals.
