Nine people were injured, including two children, according to the State Emergency Service. Rescuers saved six people, including two children.
A fire broke out in a high-rise building as a result of the attack. An administrative building, cars and a store also caught fire, all of which have been contained, the emergency service said.
Mayor Borys Filatov said apartments from the ninth to the sixth floors of the 13-story building that was hit were completely destroyed. Overall, damage was recorded at four locations across the city. At least 13 buildings were affected. An exhibition center of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine and a musical instrument store were also damaged.
Rescue operations are ongoing at the scene. One person remains unaccounted for, Filatov said.
The regional administration reported 10 people injured in the regional center.

Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched 155 drones overnight, including jet-powered UAVs.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
