In a devastating development, a Russian missile strike on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy claimed the lives of 11 people, including two children. The attack left 89 individuals injured and caused significant damage to vital infrastructure.

This tragic event occurred amid ongoing Russian aggression, as Ukraine faced a wave of missile and drone attacks that targeted the nation's power grid. The relentless offensive left parts of Ukraine without power, further intensifying the humanitarian and infrastructural crisis.
