He said the town of Druzhkivka in the Donetsk region was also targeted in Monday's missile attacks. Kyrylenko said a Russian missile "almost completely destroyed" an orphanage in Druzhkivka, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
"Another day that began with terrorism by the Russian Federation," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a statement.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine "will not forgive the torturing of our people."
"All Russian terrorists will be defeated," Zelenskyy said. "Everyone involved in this aggression will be held to account."
