In the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, two buildings were damaged by missiles, causing at least nine injuries, including two children.
A BBC team on the scene reported that the strike on Friday evening nearly entirely demolished the top floor of a big residential tower block.
According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, a building owned by Ukraine’s security services (SBU) was also struck.
He cited “Russian missile terror” as the cause.
A video that Mr. Zelensky sent to Telegram showed smoke rising from damaged buildings and a fire on the ground.
Following the incident, he claimed to have called urgent meetings with the SBU, the interior ministry, the emergency services, and local politicians.
Two teenagers, ages 14 and 17, were among the injured, according to Serhiy Lysak, the regional chief. He also mentioned that they were receiving care at home.
According to Mr. Lysak, the strike began at 20:30 local time (17:30 GMT), but no fatalities have been reported since then.
According to Borys Filatov, the mayor of Dnipro, this was Russia’s third attack on the SBU building.
He added that the residential block had recently been finished and flats were being placed up for sale, noting that both structures were virtually empty.
It follows Russia’s announcement on Friday that it had shot down two Ukrainian missiles over the Ukraine-bordering Rostov region in the country’s south.
According to Moscow, debris falling in the southern port city of Taganrog injured 15 people.
The first S-200 missile, according to the Russian defence ministry, was directed against “residential infrastructure” in the roughly 250,000-person city.
Shortly after, it claimed to have shot down a second S-200 missile close to the city of Azov, with the missile’s debris landing in a rural region.
In an explosion that occurred close to the “Chekhov Garden” cafe in the heart of Taganrog, Rostov area Governor Vasily Golubev reported that 15 individuals had “light injuries” from shards.
Nearly 25 miles (40 km) from the Ukrainian border, Taganrog is situated on the Sea of Azov shore.
Additionally, the town is near a road that leads to Mariupol, a strategic port city that was shelled by Russian forces and destroyed.
