Russian forces fired at least six missiles at Zaporizhzhia, the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office said in a statement on Wednesday.
The type of missiles that were used are "currently being established," the statement added.
The prosecutor’s office went on to say the missiles had caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure.
“One of the missiles hit between two high-rise buildings, partially destroying apartments and balconies, damaging roofs and breaking windows,” it said. “The blast wave and debris also damaged other nearby residential buildings, cars and other civilian infrastructure in the city."
Some people are still missing, according to the office.
“The search and rescue operation is ongoing. People are trapped under the rubble, information about the victims is being updated,” it added.
Earlier, the acting mayor of the city of Zaporizhzhia said a missile strike on a residential building in Zaporizhzhia had killed at least one person and left 25 people in the hospital.
Meanwhile, Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior Ukrainian official and adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, says the strikes deliberately targeted civilians.
“Zaporizhzhia. Today. A specific deliberate strike at a residential building. To kill civilians. No 'military' nearby,” Podolyak posted on Telegram on Wednesday. “Once again, the obvious. 'Russian world' came to kill – plain brazenly."

Moscow will not leave unanswered the UK's intention to supply Ukraine with shells that include depleted uranium, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
This decision will not remain without serious consequences both for Russian-British bilateral relations and at the international level, where the initial reaction from multilateral structures already indicates the complete rejection of London's plans. We will not leave such actions unanswered," the statement read.
"Violating the fundamental norms of international law, London must not forget that it will have to bear full responsibility for this," the statement added.
