Russian Missile Strike on Sumy Kills Two, Destroys Civilian Buildings

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy emphasizes the need for Western weapons to counter cross-border attacks.

A Russian missile attack on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy has resulted in at least two fatalities, with one more person potentially trapped under rubble.
The strike targeted a car repair shop, damaging an adjacent building and a kindergarten in the process.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the attack was carried out using multiple rocket launchers with a range of up to 120 kilometers.
Zelenskyy reiterated the importance of Ukraine's ability to target Russian launch sites on Russian territory, made possible by recently acquired long-range Western weapons.
Sumy, located just 30 kilometers from the Russian border, remains a key flashpoint in the ongoing conflict, which has persisted for over two and a half years with Western military support.
