Rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine quickly arrived at the scene and spent the entire night dealing with the aftermath of the attack. The fire has now been contained.
Frequent air raid alerts and the threat of further Russian strikes on the region hampered efforts to extinguish the fire.
Meanwhile, Russian forces also struck the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, where several fires broke out, including at a warehouse storing construction materials and at a private house.
Rescuers pulled three people from the rubble of a damaged building, two of whom were later hospitalized.
That same night, drones attacked the international Starokozache border checkpoint on the border with Moldova in the Odesa region.
There were fatalities and injuries among civilians who were nearby, and the processing of citizens at this section of the border was temporarily suspended.
The Kremlin continues to claim that it is allegedly ready for peace with Ukraine despite the new attacks.
Spokesperson for Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that further developments allegedly depend on Kyiv's position.
