Russia has fired dozens of missiles on Ukrainian cities in the past few days.
On Friday Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov again denied that Russia was hitting civilian targets.
“We heard three explosions and now there is nothing left of the recreation centre,” local resident Yulia Bondar, 60, told the BBC.
“The village is very quiet, we never thought this could happen.”
The DSNS said the missiles hit Serhiyivka at about 01:00 on Friday (22:00 GMT Thursday).
It released footage showing firefighters searching for survivors in the wreckage of the nine-storey building.
