At least two people have died and 22 have been injured in a Russian strike that hit a restaurant and shops in city centre of eastern Ukrainian Kramatorsk, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Some people are still believed to be trapped under the rubble as rescuers and bystanders clear the debris. 

"Two people died and 22 were injured, including a child. A restaurant and several houses were damaged," Igor Klymenko said on Telegram. 

Kramatorsk, once a city of 150,000 inhabitants, is the last major city under Ukrainian control in the east of the country. 

It lies about 30 kilometres from the frontline.
