88 Injured in Russian Missile Strike on Major City in Eastern Ukraine

On the afternoon of 24 March, Russian occupation forces launched a missile attack on the city of Sumy in eastern Ukraine. At least 88 people were injured, including 17 children. Several high-rise buildings and a school were also damaged. This was reported by the Sumy Regional Prosecutor's Office and local authorities.

It happened around 14:00, and the strike hit a densely populated residential area in the city centre.

Several high-rise buildings and a school were damaged. The children were in a protective building and are now being evacuated, all alive and well.

Rescuers are currently working to eliminate the consequences and extinguish the fires.

Local journalists note that there was no air raid alert in Sumy at the time of the hit.

Windows in residential buildings and a school were smashed, roofs and walls were damaged after the Russian strike.

As The Gaze reported, in early March, the town of Kryvyi Rih in Ukraine was hit by a missile attack from the Russian army. A hotel where volunteers from a humanitarian organisation - citizens of Ukraine, the United States and the United Kingdom - had checked in the day before was damaged.
