Ukraine's northeastern city of Sumy and the southern port city of Odesa came under Russian attack on Tuesday, regional authorities said. The strikes killed six people and injured at least 20 others across the two cities.

Emergency crews battled fires that broke out after the strikes while searching damaged buildings for anyone who may have been trapped. Civilian infrastructure in both cities was reported damaged.

The attacks come as Russia continues to strike civilian targets in various parts of Ukraine. Ukrainian officials say the strikes are part of a pattern that has persisted for more than four years since the war began.
