According to the president of Ukraine, a Russian "guided bomb" struck a blood transfusion facility in northeastern Ukraine, killing one person and injuring several others.
The number of those killed or injured in the attack that took place in the Kharkiv region on Saturday was not disclosed by Volodymyr Zelensky.
"This war crime alone says everything about Russian aggression," he declared.
Russia has made no remarks. It has previously refuted any claims that it has committed war crimes or targeted civilians.
iGONG was unable to independently confirm the report.
The attack took place in the Kypiansk region on Saturday night.
During the initial days of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022, the city of Kupiansk and surrounding towns were overrun by Russian forces.
Last September, a Ukrainian counteroffensive liberated the region.
Mr. Zelensky called the culprits "beasts" in an online post.
It was further said that "eliminating terrorists is a matter of honor for everyone who values life."
In addition, President Zelensky reported that on Saturday, Russia launched a separate missile attack against an aeronautical firm operated by the Motor Sich group in the western Khmelnytskyi region.
The Russian attacks follow accusations from Moscow that a Russian tanker with 11 crew members was struck by a Ukrainian drone in the Black Sea, marking the second such attack in as many days.
According to Russian marine officials, the strike in the Kerch Strait damaged the Sig tanker's engine room. Nobody was hurt.
The Black Sea and the Sea of Azov are connected by the Kerch Strait, which divides Russia's Taman Peninsula from Ukraine's Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014.
Ukraine has not made any public remarks. However, a source from the Ukrainian security service told the BBC that a marine drone had been deployed.
