In a separate statement, the Defense Ministry said Ukraine used two Olkha missiles with cassette munitions and Czech rocket launcher Vampire. The strikes targeted residential quarters, and 40 civilian targets were damaged, it added.

Russia has requested a meeting of the UN Security Council after the strikes.
