The death toll in Kyiv has risen as a result of a Russian rocket attack on a residential building in the Shevchenkivskyi district, Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko says.
"We are now unblocking the 7th body. Half an hour ago, when we lifted one of the slabs, we saw blood stains, and therefore realized that there would most likely be another victim. Now there are 7 victims in this 5-story building," Klymenko says.
According to the Minister, there is also one killed person in Bila Tserkva.
According to Klymenko, 30 people were wounded in Kyiv and 8 in the Kyiv region, including 2 rescuers.
"Preliminarily, a ballistic missile flew over a high-rise building and hit the center of a five-story building. As soon as the wreckage of this missile is found, we will be able to say what kind of missile it was," he adds.
