At least six people, including a 10-year-old girl and her mother, have been killed by a Russian missile attack in the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih.
Officials said 75 others, including 25 children, were injured when rockets slammed into a high-rise apartment building early Monday.
Regional governor Serhiy Lysak declared a day of mourning for the dead.
Hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, Kryvyi Rih has been a constant target of Russian attacks.
In June, 11 people died and 28 others were injured in the city after Russia launched a "massive rocket attack" on civilian buildings.
