The strike was a part of the biggest attack Ukraine has seen in months. The Ukrainian authorities reported 210 missiles and drones launched at different regions of the country.
Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X: "This evening, a Russian missile hit a nine-story residential building. There are confirmed fatalities, including children. Many people are wounded. Emergency services are on the scene, doing everything to save lives. But what is still missing - and desperately needed - is the principled reaction of the world to this evil."
