2 dead after Russian glide bomb hits apartment block

A Russian glide bomb struck an apartment building in Sumy, northern Ukraine, killing two people and injuring seven, including three in serious condition. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as 'absolutely inhuman' and reported that four people had been rescued from the rubble, including a child. The victims were identified as city employees, and the attack occurred near the Russian border, an area frequently targeted by Moscow. Zelensky also mentioned additional strikes in Pavlohrad and near Kyiv, though casualty details were not provided. Earlier attacks in Balakliia and Kyiv were noted, with no confirmed civilian casualties reported in the latter. Both Russia and Ukraine claim they do not target civilians during the conflict.
