On April 13, 2025, a Russian missile strike on Sumy, Ukraine, killed 35 civilians and injured 129, including children. The first missile hit a public bus, killing elderly churchgoers, while a second struck Sumy State University's cultural center during a conference, claiming more lives including university staff and students. Ukrainian officials condemned it as "sheer terrorism." NATO and EU leaders expressed outrage, pledging continued support. U.S. President Donald Trump sparked controversy by calling the attack a “mistake,” prompting criticism over his stance on Russia and U.S. support for Ukraine amid ongoing war. (PC: The Guardian)
