Ukrainian national police reported the strikes targeted residential neighbourhoods in the city. At least ten other people were wounded.
Rescue workers continued searching the rubble for more survivors. The attacks came a day after US President Donald Trump announced a deal to buy more than 300,000 tons of diesel from Russia.
Trump said he struck the agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a phone call. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the diesel deal would prolong the war.

Ukraine is struggling to counter escalating bombardments.
