One of the three dead women came from the Bakhmut area, scene of some of the heaviest fighting of Russia’s war on Ukraine, the emergency services said, adding that two men were also hurt.
“Rescuers removed the bodies of three dead women from the rubble,” they said on the Telegram messaging app. One person was pulled out of the rubble alive, they said.
In the Sumy region, an administrative building, a school building, and residential buildings were among those damaged, Zelenskiy’s office said.
The air force said several towns and villages in the Sumy region had come under fire from missiles, drones and other weapons.
Two other deaths were reported by local officials in Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine and in the southern region of Kherson.
Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine 13 months ago, did not comment on the latest attacks. Reuters was not immediately able to verify the reports.
