Three missiles were said to have landed close to the centre of Chernihiv
A Russian missile attack has killed and wounded civilians in the city of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine, according to its regional leader.
Vyacheslav Chaus said three missiles had struck close to the centre of the city and emergency services were at the scene.
The acting mayor said five people had been killed in the attack.
The attack came hours after reports of a Ukrainian attack on a Russian military airfield in occupied Crimea.
Details have yet to be confirmed, although local social media channels shared video of an apparent fire on the airfield at Dzhankoy in northern Crimea.
In Chernihiv, the acting mayor Oleksandr Lomako said Russian missiles had targeted an eight-storey building which he described as social infrastructure in a densely populated area.
Video from the scene showed people diving for cover at a bus stop in the city. Officials appealed for the public to come forward to give blood.
