Moscow accuses Kiev of targeting civilians using US-made ATACMS and HIMARS missiles.
Ukrainian strikes on parts of the Russia n-held Luhansk and Kherson regions have killed 26 people and wounded dozens more, local authorities said.
A HIMARS missile struck shortly afterwards as residents from neighbouring houses rushed to help the victims, Saldo told Russian media, putting the overall toll at 22 dead and 15 wounded.Earlier on Friday, Russian officials in Luhansk reported that a Ukrainian missile strike on an apartment block in the eastern region's main city of the same name killed four and wounded more than 40.
"Forty-six people have received medical treatment," said regional health minister Nataliya Pashchenko, adding that they included an eight-year-old boy and three teenage boys.The strike tore open the facade of a five-storey Soviet-era block of flats from the roof down and left a deep crater in the ground, images posted by the Russian emergency services showed.
The village is around 25 kilometres southwest of the city of Donetsk, capital of the region that Moscow claims to have annexed in 2022.
