At least 34 people killed in Russian ballistic missile attack on Sumy

At least 34 people have been killed and 117 injured, including 15 children, after a Russian attack on the centre of Sumy, according to Ukrainian authorities.
Two Iskander-variant ballistic missiles struck at around 10:15 local time (08:15 BST), both hitting the area around Sumy State University and its congress centre.
Images and videos of the aftermath show bloodied bodies scattered in the streets around the impact of the missiles. At least two children were killed.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said among the injured was a girl born this year, adding that medics were doing “everything they can” to save as many lives as possible.
“The strike hit right in the heart of the city on Palm Sunday,” he said in his evening video message. “Only completely deranged scum can do something like this.”
