Child death toll in Ukraine conflict rises to 660 after recent drone attack

A recent drone attack in Ukraine's Sumy region killed seven people, including a child. The strike targeted a dormitory at an educational institution, injuring twelve others. This incident adds to the rising death toll of children in the ongoing conflict. UNICEF reports that at least 660 children have been killed since Russia's invasion began in February 2022. The organization highlighted the devastating impact on families, with many children suffering life-altering injuries amid ongoing air strikes. In response to the conflict, the U.S. has authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian targets. This decision follows increased military support for Ukraine and comes as Russia updates its nuclear doctrine amid escalating tensions.
