A Russian missile struck a district police department in the city of Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Governor Serhii Lysak reported on Sept. 27.
One woman was killed and at least six men were injured, according to Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the city's military administration. Three more people may be trapped under the rubble, he added.
The bodies of a woman and a man were pulled from the rubble around 4:30 p.m. local time, Lysak reported.
Search and rescue operations at the site are ongoing.
An explosion was reported in Kryvyi Rih shortly after an air raid alert sounded.
Kryvyi Rih, with a population of around 660,000, is the second-largest city in Dnipropetrovsk Oblas.
It has suffered multiple deadly attacks by Russian forces since the outbreak of the full-scale war.
At least 53 people were injured in the Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rih on July 8. The strike also killed 10 people, local authorities said.
