The attacks destroyed a residential building and a recreation center near Odesa, southern Ukraine, officials said on Friday.
The attack hit a housing block, killing 16 people, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Services.
Another four people, including a child, died when a missile hit a community center, while a third missile landed in a field. At least 40 people were injured, responders said.
“We don’t expect to find anyone alive, but there is a chance,” first Deputy Interior Minister Yevhenii Yenin said on Friday, speaking from the scene of the attacks.
Images from the scene showed the residential building torn apart and debris strewn across the ground.
