A Russian missile struck a hospital and residential areas in Sumy, Ukraine, injuring at least 65 people, including children, local officials said. Explosions rocked the city center, damaging homes and children's facilities. The attack comes as US and Russian officials meet in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for truce talks, with discussions focusing on a Black Sea deal. Meanwhile, Ukraine's defense minister described separate talks with Washington as "productive." As negotiations continue, Kyiv has demanded stronger international action against Russia’s ongoing aggression. The attack further escalates tensions as efforts to broker peace continue. (PC: BBC)
