In a separate Russian strike on a private residential area elsewhere in the city, a man born in 1986 was also injured, according to the official.
The attack followed an overnight wave of Russian drone strikes across Ukraine. Ukrainian air defence forces intercepted most of the drones launched from five directions, although some reached their targets, according to a report cited by RBC-Ukraine.
In the central-eastern city of Dnipro, four people were injured in a nighttime drone attack, including two eight-year-old girls. The strike also damaged an apartment building and sparked fires at warehouses, the report said.
