Emergency services evacuated dozens of residents following the overnight strike.
Casualties were also reported in the Kharkiv region, where one person was killed, as well as in the Kyiv and Poltava regions, Ukrainian officials said.
Overnight and early-morning attacks also targeted the Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions, while the Odesa region came under renewed fire later in the evening.
Ukrainian Preisdent VolodymyrZelensky said rescue teams were working around the clock to assist victims and clear debris. According to the Ukrainian president, Russia launched more than 450 drones and 45 missiles of various types over the past 24 hours, aiming primarily at civilian, energy and residential infrastructure.
Reiterating his calls for stronger international action, Zelensky urged Western partners to tighten sanctions against Moscow, use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine and boost military aid. He stressed that every Russian strike on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure should trigger “a proportionate response,” including sanctions against Russia’s entire energy sector.
