Russia launched an attack against the city of Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on Nov. 21, injuring at least 26 people, officials said.
At least 10 people have been hospitalized, including a 24-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy. Other victims, including a 32-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy, were provided medical assistance on-site, Governor Serhii Lysak said.
Two women are in serious condition.
An administrative building, five residential buildings, a car, and two minibusses were damaged.
The attack comes on the same day after Russia launched a large-scale missile attack against Dnipro, the regional center of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
According to the Air Force, Russia launched nine missiles against the city, including an intercontinental ballistic missile. This would mark the first time such a weapon was deployed in the war against Ukraine.
Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, remains a frequent target of Russia's missile attacks. With a population of around 660,000, it is the second-largest city in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
The city lies about 70 kilometers (40 miles) northwest of the nearest front-line zone.
