Emergency services reported strikes on a five-storey residential building that sparked fires across multiple floors, with two survivors rescued from rubble.
Local resident Yevhenii Tymoshevsky described homes “where families live, children, youth, old people” being hit.
The attack coincided with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the White House, where he and European leaders will join US President Donald Trump for discussions on ending the war.
