KYIV, Ukraine - At least 14 civilians have been wounded in recent Russian attacks in Ukraine, according to officials. The attacks occurred as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hosted the president of the European Union's executive arm, Ursula von der Leyen, in the Ukrainian capital.

Yurii Malashko, the governor of the Zaporizhzhia region, reported that nine people were injured in a Russian rocket strike on the village of Zarichne. In total, 26 cities and settlements in the region came under attack within the past day.

Meanwhile, in the Kherson region, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin stated that five individuals were wounded in attacks involving artillery, mortars, drones, warplanes, and tanks.

Although the city of Nikopol, located on the opposite bank of the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest, faced fire, no immediate injuries were reported by Dnipropetrovsk regional Governor Serhii Lysak.

In a separate development, the Russia-appointed governor of the annexed Crimean Peninsula announced that air defense missiles were fired in Kerch, with fragments falling on a shipyard. Further details were not provided.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv on Saturday morning and was warmly greeted by President Zelenskyy at the train station. She later took to Twitter, stating that discussions during her sixth visit would center around Ukraine's path to EU membership and how Russia would be held responsible for its war of aggression.

The timing of von der Leyen's visit is significant, as she is set to present a report on the enlargement of the European Union in one week. The report is expected to highlight Ukraine's progress towards becoming a member of the 27-nation bloc.
