'We have a lot of damage,' Ihor Terekhov said.
Three high-rise residential buildings were hit, with dramatic footage showing several storeys of one engulfed in flames.
The carnage is a part of a wider Russian revenge blitz that's pummelling cities across Ukraine following its daring Operation Spiderweb.

Desperate excuse of woman arrested for fatal hit-and-run of Netflix star Sara Burack in Hamptons
A Virginia woman accused in the fatal hit-and-run that killed famous realtor Sara Burack argued that she believed she struck a traffic cone, it was revealed Saturday. Amanda Kempton, 32, was charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident in connection to the hit-and-run death of the Million Dollar Beach House star, according to the Southampton Town Police Department. Burack, 40, was reportedly walking in the right-hand lane of a busy Montauk Highway, pulling a pink wheeled suitcase, when she was struck by Kempton's vehicle around 3 am. She had sustained severe head trauma and multiple fractures. Despite being rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital, Burack died later that afternoon from her injuries. Kempton, a marine biologist, pleaded not guilty and was released from police custody following the Saturday hearing, during which she claimed to have thought she 'hit a traffic cone,' rather than the reality television star. Officials said Kempton's family had posted collateral in place of the $100,000 bail. Her family resides in Manorville, a hamlet in Suffolk County on New York's Long Island, often referred to as the 'gateway to the Hamptons.' Kempton faces up to seven years in prison if convicted of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in a felony, The Independent reported. Prosecutor MacDonald Drane, who argued for the high bail, described Kempton as a flight risk due to her departure from the crash site, according to The New York Post. Holding back tears, the 32-year-old Virginia-native listened as the court noted she had plans to attend a wedding in her home state on Saturday. Kempton's attorney, William Keahon, told the court that alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the case, despite her having spent time at a tavern earlier in the evening. He added that visibility was poor due to heavy fog, and that his client did not see Burack in the roadway. Kempton left the scene and drove to a friend's house, where she later discovered Burack's pink suitcase lodged beneath her vehicle. Authorities identified Kempton as the driver using a license plate reader and located her vehicle at her family's residence, where it showed front-end damage. Kempton grew up in Virginia, and holds degrees in microbiology and marine biology from George Mason University and Nova Southeastern University in Florida, respectively, according to social media. She has been working this year at 4-H's Camp Jekyll, located on Georgia's Jekyll Island, according to a Facebook post. Burack was a licensed real estate broker with experience in the luxury real estate market. In addition to her professional accomplishments, she gained national visibility as a cast member on the Netflix series Million Dollar Beach House. She was also active in charitable work, including fundraising for leukemia research and animal rescue initiatives. Her sudden death has elicited an outpouring of grief from friends, former colleagues, and members of the entertainment and real estate communities. 'I want people to remember she was an amazing person who really cared for people,' close family friend and fellow realtor Paulette Corsair told Newsday. 'She was a hardworking real estate agent who was there for others. She was loved greatly by her friends and a close family.'

French police 'arrest 22-year-old British man accused of trying to marry girl aged nine at Disneyland Paris'
French police have arrested a 22-year-old man believed to be British amid claims he tried to marry a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris on Saturday. Park staff were shocked to see the child, along with her family and around 100 guests, turn up for the event and quickly called the police. Officers arrived on the scene and took the man into custody along with the girl's 41-year-old mother, who is believed to be Ukrainian. A statement issued by the prosecutor's office in the nearby town of Meaux said: 'Four people were arrested and questioned: the groom, who was believed to be the organiser of the event and is presumed to be British and aged 22; the mother of the child, a 41-year-old Ukrainian woman; and two Latvian nationals aged 55 and 24.' It added that the 'police custody of the British suspect and a Latvian national was also extended on charges of fraud and money laundering.' The prosecutor's office also confirmed that a criminal investigation has opened. The wedding ceremony was scheduled to take place at dawn as private events such as weddings at the theme park are organised outside public opening hours. Disneyland Paris told French newspaper Le Parisien that the event was immediately shut down by its team and that guests were stopped from entering the premises. The circumstances around the wedding remain unclear, but the prosecutor's office said that a medical examination of the young girl found that she had not suffered any violence. They also said that they were not ruling out that the event may have been a prank, with the guests attending as possible 'extras'. A police source later told Le Parisien that the groom had said that he was the director of a production company and that they were shooting a video. A source who claimed to have been a wedding guest told the French newspaper: 'We all thought we were going to attend a wedding... Everyone was stunned, no one expected it. Disneyland did things very well. 'They canceled everything as soon as they realized the bride was a child. We were shocked to see that.' 'So it wasn't a wedding, but a staged wedding filmed with around a hundred extras. They privatized Disneyland Paris, pretending it was a real wedding,' the prosecutor's office later explained to AFP.
