LONDON -- A Russian ballistic missile strike on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy killed at least 32 people on Sunday morning, emergency services said, as many there celebrated Palm Sunday.
"The enemy struck the civilian population again," acting Mayor Artem Kobzar wrote on Telegram. Ukraine's State Emergency Service said that at least 32 people -- including two children -- were confirmed killed, with 99 others injured. Two missiles struck the center of the city, authorities said.
The Sumy City Council said the strike hit multiple buildings, including residential ones. "On this bright day of Palm Sunday, our community suffered a terrible tragedy," Kobzar wrote.
Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine's presidential office, said the missiles used cluster munitions, which spray smaller sub-munitions over the target area. "A cluster munition missile is something the Russians do to kill as many civilians as possible," Yermak wrote on Telegram. "The strike on the city of Sumy is a deliberate shelling of civilians."...........
