Kiev, 26 June 2022 (dpa/MIA) - A nine-storey apartment building in Kiev was struck in a missile attack early Sunday, injuring several people and leaving others trapped under the rubble, Ukrainian officials said. Anton Herashchenko, an advisor to the Ukrainian interior minister, wrote on Telegram that another rocket hit the grounds of a kindergarten in the Shevchenko district. Rescue and firefighting efforts were ongoing at the residential site. Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko said at least four people had been injured and others were believed to be buried under the apartment's rubble. A 7-year-old girl and her mother were found alive in the debris, he said. The building is located in the immediate vicinity of the Artem weapons factory, which has been attacked several times previously by Russia. Ukrainian member of parliament Olexiy Honcharenko said a total of 14 rockets were fired by Russian troops across the city and surrounding area early Sunday. Even as fighting rages in eastern Ukraine, Kiev has been largely been spared from the violence in recent months. It last faced a barrage of missiles three weeks ago. The attack on Kiev comes as G7 leaders convened in southern Germany to discuss increasing pressure on Russia to end the war. Ukrainian President Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address delegates via video link during the three-day talks. Meanwhile, it emerged that Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has visited Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. The Defence Ministry in Moscow released a video on Sunday showing Shoigu stepping off a plane in dark green military fatigues and then conferring with military officials. The ministry said he awarded medals to individual soldiers for their efforts in the "special military operation," as the war against Ukraine is officially called in Russia. Exactly where in Ukraine Shoigu had travelled was not disclosed. Russia, which invaded the neighbouring country more than four months ago, is currently focusing its attacks on the eastern regions of Luhansk and Donetsk.
