Dozens of Russian missiles have struck targets across Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv which has not suffered missile attacks in two months since Russia shifted its military offensive towards the Donbas region of Ukraine.
The attacks on Sunday, June 26 destroyed a 9 storey Kyiv apartment block , killing at least one and wounding six others including a seven-year-old girl.
Also in Kyiv, a large blast crater was gouged in a nursery school playground, near a nine-storey building whose top floors were ripped apart. The injured girl’s mother – a Russian citizen – was also pulled from the rubble and taken to hospital, officials said.
They said the girl later underwent a surgery and was “in stable condition”.
