The attack comes after weeks of escalation in the near three-year war, with Moscow stepping up its attacks at the start of the freezing winter months.
An earlier strike on the central city of Kryvyi Rig killed two people and wounded 16, including a child, the state emergency services agency said.
"A three-storey building was destroyed, residential buildings and cars were damaged" in that attack, it said on Telegram.
