Ukraine has struck a base of a Russian missile brigade behind Sunday’s devastating attack on Sumy, killing 35 people and injuring over 119. The Ukrainian military said it targeted the 448th missile brigade, which was behind the deadly assault.
The attack comes after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Russia’s actions as “only scoundrels can act like this”. He called for a strong response from the world in response to the violence. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg reaffirmed Ukraine’s support, stating that Ukraine’s people deserve real peace and security.
Russia has denied launching the attack, accusing Ukraine of attacking them. However, Ukraine disputes this claim, stating that Russia launched over 2,200 missiles, drones, and aerial bombs at civilians in the past three weeks since agreeing to a pause on strikes.
The developments come amid escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with both countries accusing each other of violating a US-brokered deal to pause strikes on energy infrastructure.
