A Russian cruise missile struck a nine-story apartment building in Dnipro, Ukraine, on Saturday, January 14, killing dozens of people.

Apartments were sliced in half when the missile — with a warhead of nearly one metric ton — penetrated all the way to the basement.

It was one of the single deadliest attacks of the war so far.

Here are some of the stories that made headlines over the past week, as well as some photos that caught our eye.
