Ukraine reports a Russian missile attack hit a hospital, homes and children's institutions in Sumy, injuring 65 people including 14 children.
Head of the Sumy regional administration, Volodymyr Artyukh, says Russia "launched a rocket strike on the city centre" and damaged several high-rise buildings and a school.
"The children were in a protective structure and were evacuated," he says, before adding "all are alive".
"Rescue services are working to eliminate the consequences and extinguish the fires," Artyukh adds.
Sumy’s acting mayor Artem Kobzar has amended his posts on social media to say that the Russian missile strike today targeted “children’s establishments and a hospital”.
The original version said “residential areas and infrastructure including children's hospitals” were the target.
Sumy is the administrative centre of northeastern Sumy region, which borders Russia’s Kursk region.
Ukraine launched an incursion into Kursk region last August, but over the past weeks Ukrainian forces have been withdrawing under pressure from the Russians.
Sumy has been the target of numerous Russian attacks in the past, and recently the regional authorities have been warning of increasing number of missile and drone attacks, as well as attempts by Russian units to cross the border into Sumy region.
Ukraine's defence minister says Kyiv-US discussions on Sunday, also held in Riyadh, were "productive".
Russian attacks on Ukraine continued overnight, as the Russian military says they intercepted 28 Ukrainian drones.
Ukraine also says it has destroyed four military helicopters in Russia, BBC Verify has analysed the footage.
Ukraine's prosecution service says in a statement the attack was carried out at about 14:00 local time (12:00 GMT) and targeted a densely populated area.
They add that an investigation into the missile attack has been launched.
Russia has slowly made advances since launching its full-scale invasion three years ago, particularly in the east.
Attacks there have intensified in recent days, as well as north of Kharkiv, while Ukrainian troops have been forced back from the Kursk region of Russia.
In eastern Ukraine, Moscow's war machine has been churning mile by mile through the wide open fields of the Donbas, enveloping and overwhelming villages and towns.
Despite this, Ukrainian forces claim to have recaptured a village in the Luhansk region - their first successful counter offensive in the east of the country for many months.
