A Russian missile strike on the northeastern city of Sumy killed eleven people, including two children, and injured eighty-nine others. The attack occurred late Sunday, following a morning of heavy bombardment on Ukraine's power grid, which resulted in at least seven deaths. The missile assault on Sumy damaged critical infrastructure, leaving the city without power. Rescuers evacuated over 400 people, and emergency services are providing support to those affected. The attack also caused significant damage to residential buildings and vehicles. This escalation follows a major shift in U.S. policy, allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia. The change comes amid ongoing criticism and concerns about potential wider conflict.
