Russian shelling has killed two civilians in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed on Tuesday.
In a video message on the Telegram app, Zelenskiy stated that a rescue operation was underway at the scene, with more potential victims feared to be trapped under debris.
City officials reported that Sumy, located approximately 30 km from the Russian border, was hit by a Russian airstrike around 12:10 pm (1010 GMT). The strike caused significant damage to a car servicing station, several homes, and an educational building. However, Zelenskiy later clarified, based on preliminary findings, that the city had been struck by a multiple-launch rocket system.
He emphasised that the only way to protect against such attacks is to destroy Russian weapons and launch systems on Russian soil. “That is why the ability to strike at Russian territory is so important for us,” Zelenskiy remarked.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Defence Ministry stated that Ukraine had launched U.S.-produced ATACMS missiles into Russian territory twice in the past three days, warning of retaliatory measures.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered a critical phase, with Moscow reportedly deploying North Korean troops, while Kyiv continues to use Western-supplied missiles to strike inside Russia.
