US national security adviser Jake Sullivan tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, a week before he is due to accompany President Joe Biden to a meeting of the Group of Seven advanced economies, NSC spokesperson Adrienne Watson said.

Watson said Sullivan has not been in close contact with Biden, and is asymptomatic.

The White House announced last week that Biden would travel to southern Germany for the G7 summit and continue on to Spain for a NATO summit in late June.

It was not immediately clear whether the positive test would affect Sullivan's travel plans.

A 14-year-old boy was killed and 12 other people wounded in a Russian rocket attack on the small town of Hlukhiv in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region on Saturday, the Ukraine prosecutors' office said.

The attack on the town near the Russian border hit apartment blocks, houses, an educational institution, a shop and vehicles at around 12:40 p.m. (0940 GMT), the prosecutors' office said. Six of the wounded were also children, it added.

Reuters could not confirm the account independently.

Hlukhiv is about 10 km (6 miles) from the border with Russia, which has been regularly shelling Ukrainian frontier regions in recent months. There was no immediate comment from Russia.
