Russian Missile Strike on Ukrainian City of Sumy Kills 34 in Deadliest Attack of 2025
The Attack: A Broken City The attack happened in broad daylight, just as residents were gathering for Palm Sunday services and a children’s performance at the Sumy State University conference center. According to Ukrainian officials, Russian forces launched two Iskander-M ballistic missiles at the heart of Sumy, a quiet regional capital that had, until recently, been spared the scale of destruction seen in cities like Mariupol and Kharkov.
