A Russian missile strike on a residential building in Sumy, Ukraine, killed 11 people, including two children. The attack injured 89 others and left the city without electricity. This incident is part of a broader wave of Russian aggression targeting Ukraine's infrastructure. The missile strike occurred after the U.S. approved Ukraine's use of long-range missiles against Russian targets. Previously, President Biden had restricted Ukraine from using these weapons outside its borders. The decision follows ongoing discussions among Western allies about military support for Ukraine. U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized the need for increased support for Ukraine as the conflict approaches its 1,000th day. He noted the involvement of North Korean troops with Russian forces, highlighting concerns for European and Indo-Pacific security.
