A Russian strike on a government building in the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv has killed 12 people and injured more than 20 others, Ukrainian officials say, APA reports citing BBC.
A rocket tore a hole through the nine-story building shortly before 09:00 local (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday morning.
The attack destroyed the office of the regional governor, Vitaliy Kim, who was not there at the time.
Authorities are still searching for more survivors in the rubble.
The building also houses the offices of the Mykolaiv regional state government.
Emergency services say at least 22 people were also wounded.
In a video address to the Danish Parliament, Ukraine's President Zelensky condemned the attack: "There were no military targets in Mykolaiv. The people of Mykolaiv posed no threat to Russia."
