MASSIVE RUSSIAN DRONE AND MISSILE ATTACK on Ukrainian City Kills Eight, Injures Dozens

MOSCOW, RUSSIA - A Russian strike on a nine-story building in Sumy, Ukraine has left eight people dead and dozens wounded, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack, which was described as the largest in recent months, also resulted in over 400 people being evacuated from the damaged building.

Sumy, a city located 40 kilometers from the border with Russia, took a direct hit during the drone and missile assault. Among the victims were two children, confirmed by Ukraine's Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko. The death toll was swiftly rising as rescuers worked to search every apartment in the building for those still trapped.

Eyewitnesses reported widespread destruction and chaos following the attack, with many buildings in the area suffering damage. The Ukrainian government has condemned the assault, calling it a "brazen act of aggression" by Russian forces.

The massive drone and missile attack on Sumy is seen as a significant escalation of Russia's recent operations in Ukraine, sparking international condemnation and concern over the potential for further harm to civilians.
