The confirmed0:10deaths are centered on apartment0:12buildings struck in the [music] night0:13barrage and the number injured already0:15exceeds 40 while crews continue0:17searching the debris. 44 cruise missiles0:19and 168 explosive [music] attack drones0:21were fired in the combined barrage and0:23nearly all of both were shot down but0:26the ballistic missiles were the0:27exception.
