One of the missiles hit the nine-storey residential tower in Serhiivka, killing at least 16 and injuring 38 people, according to Ukraine state emergency service.

They were still going through the rubble of the recreational centre, officials said. The missiles struck around 1 am. The Kremlin’s spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, again denied on Friday that Russia was targeting any civilian infrastructure.
“I would like to again remind you of the words of the president of the Russian Federation and commander in chief that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are not working against civilian targets in the course of the special military operation,” Peskov said.
He further said that Russia’s target included ammunition and arms depots, plants that manufacture and repair military equipment, and places where ‘foreign mercenaries’ and ‘nationalist elements’ are based and trained. The attack came as Russian troops withdrew from Snake Island after occupying the strategic Black Sea outpost for months.
