Miracle moment Ukrainian rescuers rescue boy trapped under rubble for six HOURS after explosion

Hero rescuers in Ukraine managed to pull a little boy from the rubble after Putin's latest wave of missile strikes.

Heartbreaking footage shows the team rescuing the injured 12-year-old Artem from debris before he was put on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance.

Ukrainian emergency services said seven people could still be trapped in the debris nearly 24 hours after Wednesday night's explosion.

The footage shows the crew pulling the others to safety as they work to free little Artem who became trapped after his house was hit by a Russian missile.

Workers inflated a pressure relief device from some of the debris on top of the boy and propped up a collapsed part of the building with various tools before the boy was freed.
