JAKARTA - Russian missiles hit residential areas in the city of Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine. The attack killed a child and two adults, and injured others, the mayor said.

"It is known that three people died, including a child," Oleksandr Sienkevych said via the messenger Telegram application.

The port city of Mykolaiv and its surrounding areas is often targeted by Russian attacks.

Vitaliy Kim, governor of the region, said another missile landed elsewhere in the region.

He praised the residents of the regional capital who rushed to the location to provide assistance before the medics arrived.

Moscow denies targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure in its invasion of Ukraine, although thousands have been killed and injured in the attack.
