A Russian strike battered the regional government building in the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv, a key port under heavy assault for weeks, the regional governor said on Tuesday.
“The regional administration building was hit,” governor Vitaly Kim wrote on Facebook. He said that most people inside the building had not been injured but several civilians and soldiers were unaccounted for.
AFP journalists on the scene in the aftermath of the attack said the bodies of two people were pulled from debris.
“We’re clearing the rubble. Half the building was destroyed. My office was hit,” Kim said in a video statement.
