A fuel storage depot in the Eastern Ukrainian town of Novomoskovsk exploded on Sunday, killing one person and injuring two others, after it had been hit by three Russian missiles, the regional administration chief said in an online message.

Valentyn Reznichenko posted a picture of what he said was a large blaze at the depot. Novomoskovsk lies just to the north east of Dnipro, the regional capital.

Eleven people were injured in the strike itself, Reznichenko had said on Saturday. Firefighters were still trying to put out a fire from the missile strike, some 14 hours after the depot was hit, Reznichenko said
