Ukraine: 7-year-old girl rescued from hit Kyiv building hit by Russian missiles

A seven-year-old girl has been rescued from the ruins of an apartment block that was hit by Russian airstrikes on Sunday morning.

The video shared by Ukraine's emergency services shows the child being pulled out from the partially collapsed building and being carried by stretcher to an ambulance.

Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital in the early hours of Sunday morning, striking at least two residential buildings, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, as elsewhere Russian troops consolidated their gains in the east.

Associated Press journalists in Kyiv saw rescue services battling flames and rescuing civilians. Klitschko said two people were hospitalized with injuries.

Ukraine Member of Parliament Oleksiy Goncharenko wrote on the Telegram messaging app that "according to prelim data 14 missiles were launched against Kyiv region and Kyiv."

Before Sunday's early morning attack, Kyiv had not faced any such Russian airstrikes since June 5.
