Ukraine-Russia war latest: Missile base responsible for deadly Sumy attack hit in response strike, Kyiv says
Ukraine’s military says it has hit the base of the Russian rocket brigade whose forces conducted a deadly missile strike on Sumy.
“(A base) of the 448th missile brigade of the Russian occupiers was hit, a secondary detonation of ammunition was recorded. The results of the strike are being clarified,” the military said in a statement on Telegram.
European leaders previously condemned the Sumy attack, which killed at least 35 people in one of the deadliest strikes of the war yet. Trump defended the “terrible” attack on Sumy as a “mistake”.
Ukraine’s statement comes after the Kremlin insisted there is no timeline for a peace deal despite pressure from Donald Trump and repeated accusations from Western nations that the Russian leader is dragging his feet over a ceasefire deal.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump again falsely blamed Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky for “starting” the war in Ukraine despite Putin being the one to invade.
On the war front, Kyiv forces launched a major attack – involving more than 100 drones – on Russia’s Kursk region that borders Ukraine, Russian authorities said.
The attack killed an elderly woman, injured nine people and sparked fires in several buildings.
