The attack hit the village of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region, where residents had gathered to receive essential supplies and take shelter.
Ukraine’s emergency services say two rescue workers and four police officers were among those killed.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russian forces carried out a second strike, dropping a further nine guided bombs on the shelter where people had taken cover following the initial attack.
Rescue teams are continuing to search through the rubble for survivors, with fears the death toll could rise.
