Russian missile attack kills three in Ukraine’s Sumy

(Reuters) – A Russian missile attack on Wednesday on an industrial site near the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy killed three people, regional governor Oleh Hryhorov said on Facebook.

Sumy region, on Ukraine’s northern border opposite Russia’s Kursk region, has been the target of repeated Russian attacks in the more than three-year-old war, particularly in the last few months.

A Russian missile attack on the city of Sumy on Palm Sunday last month killed 35 people. Russia denies targeting civilians in the war.
