Three people were injured in a Russian air strike on Ukraine's western Zhytomyr region on Sunday, emergency services said.

Thirteen buildings were damaged in the attack, which targeted the Korostensky district north of the region's main city Zhytomyr, Ukraine's state emergency services said on Facebook.

"Three people were injured," it added, posting images of burning buildings and scattered charred debris.

Also on Sunday, Russia's defence ministry said its "high-precision missiles" hit a training centre of Ukrainian special forces in Zhytomyr region, around 150 kilometres (90 miles) west of Ukraine's capital Kyiv.

"More than 100 (Ukrainian) servicemen of the special forces and foreign mercenaries were destroyed," in the attack, the ministry said.
