Rockets hit the center of Kupyansk, the northern part of the front line in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, Sunday morning, according to Oleh Syniehubov, head of the regional military administration.
"A private house and garages were damaged, and fires broke out. Four cars were destroyed," Syniehubov said on Telegram. "Fortunately, there were no casualties."
The Ukrainian official said the attack was fired from multiple rocket launchers and hit the city around 6:45 a.m. local time (11:45 p.m. ET Saturday).
The assault comes a day after Russian forces fired on the Kharkiv, Chuhuiv and Kupyansk districts of the region, Syniehubov said.
Crews are working through recently liberated areas of Kharkiv to clear the ground of mines, with pyrotechnic crews defusing some 123 explosive devices over the past day, the regional leader added.
Russia also shelled Nikopol in southern Ukraine overnight, damaging seven private houses, a power line, a minibus, a greenhouse and a car, Serhii Lysak, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, said on Telegram Sunday. Lysak said there were no casualties.
