Russia attacked a town in southern Ukraine with a missile, killing seven civilians, including children, and wounding many others, local authorities said.
Ukrainian authorities released photos of bodies lying in a park in Vilnyansk. Officials said 36 people were injured in the attack on Saturday evening and Sunday has been declared a day of mourning.
Vilniansk is in the Zaporizhzhia region, less than 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the local capital. Local governor Ivan Fedorov said three children were among the dead.
Fedorov said in a post on Telegram that the attack damaged a shop, a residential building and an infrastructure facility in Vilniansk. After the attack in Vilniansk, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Kiev's Western partners to stop Russian attacks.
Eight civilians were killed and 14 others injured on Saturday night in Ukraine's violence-hit eastern Donetsk region, according to the local governor. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed on Sunday that its forces shot down 36 Ukrainian drones in six regions in Russia's southwest overnight.
