The Kremlin, responding to questions on Monday, asserted that Russian strikes target only military or military-linked locations. This claim came after a deadly attack on the northern Ukrainian city of Sumy.

Ukraine reported on Sunday that two Russian ballistic missiles had struck the city, killing 34 civilians and injuring 117 more. The devastation has heightened international concern over the conflict's human toll.
