At least 34 civilians were killed, including 2 children, and over 117 were injured, in a Russian ballistic missile attack early Sunday morning against the Northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy. The missiles, which are believed to have been two short-range ballistic missiles armed with cluster warheads, struck the city just as families were traveling to church services for Palm Sunday; resulting in one of the deadliest attacks against civilians since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. This follows a series of Russian attacks over the last few months, since the start of 2025 and beginning of ceasefire negotiations, which appear to specifically target civilian population centers in Ukraine.
