Russian missiles hit the city of Sumy, in northeastern Ukraine while people gathered for services this Sunday (13), killing at least 21 people local authorities said.
At least 34 people including five children, they were also injured in the attack, according to the region’s prosecutor.
“Many people were killed today as a result of the missile attack,” he said Artem Kobzar Mayor of Sumy, confirming the death toll.
The attacks hit the city center on Ramos Sunday, while residents participated in religious cults.
Two ballistic missiles were fired by Russia at the city center, said Volodymyr artyukh Head of Military Administration in the region. “At that moment, there were a lot of people on the street,” he said.
Russia has intensified the air attacks and missiles against the Sumy region in recent weeks, expelling the Ukrainian forces from much of Kursk’s adjacent Russian territory. His forces also occupied some minor settlements within the Sumy region.
