Massive Russian Drone and Missile Attack Leaves Eight Dead in Ukrainian City
A devastating drone and missile strike launched by Russia early Sunday has left eight people dead, including two children, and dozens wounded, according to Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs. The attack, which officials described as the largest in recent months, targeted a nine-story building in Sumy city, approximately 40 kilometers from the border with Russia.
The brutal assault on the civilian population occurred in broad daylight, with the rescuers conducting a thorough search operation in every apartment to identify anyone who might be still trapped in the damaged building. More than 400 people were evacuated from the site prior to the strike, according to officials.
As the situation continues to unfold, Ukrainian authorities have expressed deep concern over the rising humanitarian crisis in eastern Ukraine and have called for international condemnation of Russia's escalating aggression. The Russian military has not commented on their motives behind the attack, but it is seen as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kyiv.
