A statement put out on social media by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said the missiles, "destroyed the city's blood transfusion center."
Last week there were four consecutive days of drone strikes between Russia and Ukraine. Russia hit a crucial port in Southern Ukraine that used to export grain, and a hospital in Kherson, in the southeast of the country.
Ukraine's drones hit a skyscraper in Moscow twice in two days.
The intensifying attacks are seen as retaliation to Ukraine's attempt to bring the war to Russia's soil.
