A massive Russian bomb attack has killed at least four people in the north-eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy. According to the South China Morning Post, the strike damaged civilian infrastructure in the city and prompted rescue teams to mobilise to reach the wounded.
Ukrainian officials said Sumy, close to the border, has been targeted with growing frequency in recent months. Residents were directed to shelters after air-raid warnings sounded across the area.
The prolonged war is straining both Ukraine's air-defence capacity and the support supplied by Western allies. As diplomatic contacts continue, attacks on border regions are deepening civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure, underscoring the human cost of the conflict.
