Deadly attacks come as Russia continues to stretch out Ukrainian forces in areas along the eastern front.
Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least 12 people, including four children, as fighting intensifies during a series of offensives into several regions of the war-battered country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on Saturday the death toll in the village of Vilniansk – near the regional hub of Zaporizhzhia – may increase.
“Seven people, including two children, have been killed by a Russian missile strike in the Zaporizhzhia region,” Zelenskyy said on social media, calling for his Western allies to speed up weapons deliveries.
“Any delay in decisions in this war means the loss of human lives.”
Ukraine’s Interior Minister Igor Klimenko said 18 people – including four children – were also wounded in Vilniansk, 30km (18 miles) from the main city of Zaporizhzhia.
