The attack also hit the Dnipro region, which is closer to the city centre.
This is the eighteenth attack on the capital this month.
The military administration said seven people were wounded in the two areas.
Pictures from the scene posted on social networks showed rescue teams helping residents with buildings, and broken building materials littering the streets outside.

“The situation in Shibekino is really scary.”
In the context, the governor of the Russian city of Belgorod, Vyacheslav Gladkov, announced that whoever wishes to leave the city of Chepekino can apply to the city’s municipality and will receive assistance.
The governor said that the situation in Shibekino is really scary for the children, the elderly and everyone, and that is why we have made a decision to help all those who wish to leave Shibekino temporarily.
Gladkov pointed out that the Russian forces in the area worked well to transport women, children and the elderly when Ukrainian fighters entered Graevo Run.
The governor of the city submitted a report to President Vladimir Putin regarding the situation in the region, as the region was subjected to heavy bombardment, affecting the western and southern outskirts of the region.
