Russian missiles hit Ukrainian city of Sumy during Palm Sunday celebrations

Russian missiles struck the Ukrainian city of Sumy on Palm Sunday, killing at least 34 people—including two children—and injuring 117, officials said.

The twin ballistic missile strike targeted a university and a nearby street, with Ukraine accusing Russia of using cluster munitions.

The attack follows a deadly strike on President Zelenskyy’s hometown days earlier. Zelenskyy called for a global response, denouncing Russia as a terrorist state.

Additional Russian strikes hit Kherson, Donetsk, and Kharkiv, the Associated Press has reported.

Meanwhile, both sides accused each other of violating a U.S.-brokered pause on energy infrastructure strikes as Russia gears up for a new spring offensive.
