No fewer than six people have been killed and many injured in a Russian attack on the city of Sumy in north-eastern Ukraine.
This was disclosed by the city’s acting Mayor, Artem Kobzer, on Sunday evening.
Artem Kobzar shared a video on Telegram in which he stood in front of a multi-storey residential building destroyed by the missile attack.
The mayor further recounted how rescue workers were ransacking the rubble in the dark for survivors and victims.
According to reports, the attack on Sumy occurred after one of the heaviest Russian air raids on Ukraine since the war began.
Russia struck sites across Ukraine overnight with drones, rockets and cruise missiles, with energy facilities as the main targets.
