Volodymyr Rogov said on Telegram on Sunday that seven rockets were fired at the city, four of which were Storm Shadow missiles.

He claimed that six missiles were intercepted and one fell on the outskirts of the city, but there were no casualties.

Images of the attack appeared on social networks, probably the target was an airport near the city.

The attack came a day after Ukrainians also struck targets in occupied Mariupol, saying they destroyed a base with 150 Russian soldiers.

Russian officials also say Storm Shadow missiles have already been used to strike Luhansk.

Earlier this month, Britain became the first country to say it had supplied long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine.
