At least 11 people killed in a Russian missile strike on a restaurant in Ukraine's eastern city of Kramatorsk, officials said on Wednesday.

Iran PressEurope: Emergency services said the bodies of 11 people had been recovered from the rubble by early Wednesday evening, nearly 24 hours after a missile slammed into the restaurant.

The dead included at least three children, and 56 people were hurt, they said.

Asked about the attack on Kramatorsk, the Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia attacked only military targets, not civilian ones. Russia's Defence Ministry later said a temporary Ukrainian army command post had been hit in Kramatorsk.

During the overnight rescue, police and soldiers emerged with a man in military trousers and boots on a stretcher. He was placed in an ambulance, though it was unclear whether he was still alive.

A second missile hit a village on the fringes of Kramatorsk, wounding four people.

Kramatorsk lies west of front lines in Donetsk province.
