"As a result of the strike inflicted by Ukrainian nationalists, unfortunately, two civilians were killed," he said in a message posted on Telelgram.

"According to preliminary data, one residential building was completely destroyed, two more houses were partially destroyed."

It comes after a week in which Russia renewed heavy missile attacks on Ukrainian cities, killing 23 people including a baby boy, and a massive fire broke out in Moscow-annexed Crimea after a suspected drone attack.

Moscow-installed officials in eastern Ukraine also reported that Ukrainian shelling had killed nine people including an eight-year-old girl in the city of Donetsk.
