At least seven people died in a Russian missile attack on the city of Vilniansk in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya region and a further 11 were seriously injured, including three children, the authorities reported.

President Volodymyr Zelensky posted on X: "Unfortunately, the number of victims could rise."
