A Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy killed 34 people, including 2 children, and injured 117 others. Two ballistic missiles hit near the state university and congress centre, leaving widespread devastation. Ukraine’s Western allies condemned the attack. US President Trump called it a “horrible thing,” while German Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz labelled it a “serious war crime.” French President Macron demanded “strong measures” to enforce a ceasefire. Ukrainian President Zelensky urged Trump to witness the war’s horrors firsthand. The UN condemned attacks on civilians as violations of international law. This is Ukraine’s deadliest civilian strike in 2025. (PC: AP, AFP)
