A recent Russian missile strike on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy has resulted in multiple fatalities.
The city of Sumy, located approximately 30 miles from the Russian border, has faced increasing pressure from Moscow’s forces in recent weeks.
Sumy’s acting mayor, Artem Kobzar, reported that many people are feared dead after the missile strike, which targeted civilians.
Unverified social media images showed destroyed cars and smoke rising into the air, indicating the severity of the attack.
Kyiv has been warning of a potential Moscow offensive on Sumy for weeks, and Russia’s recent capture of a village in the Sumy region has heightened tensions.
This attack is part of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has seen numerous missile strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, resulting in significant damage and loss of life.
