Massive Russian Drone and Missile Attack Kills 8 and Wounds Dozens in Ukraine City

A devastating drone and missile attack launched by Russia early Sunday killed eight people, including two children, and wounded dozens more, according to Ukrainian authorities.

The attack, described as the largest in recent months, targeted a nine-story building in the city of Sumy in northern Ukraine. The victims were among those who took shelter in the building, which stands just 24 miles from the border with Russia.

According to Ukraine's Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko, over 400 people had been evacuated from the building before the attack. Rescuers were still searching every apartment to ensure that all persons trapped in the damaged building were accounted for.

Eyewitnesses described the attack as intense and chaotic, with multiple explosions audible throughout the city. The situation on the ground is still tense, with reports of widespread destruction and debris scattered throughout the affected area.

The attack has sparked outrage among Ukrainian officials and citizens, who condemned what they called a brutal and devastating assault on civilians. The international community is also condemning Russia's actions as an attack on innocent lives.

This latest incident marks another significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, with calls for increased humanitarian aid and support flooding social media platforms worldwide.
