A market in the heart of the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy was reduced to rubble that burned completely, as Russia intensified its attacks overnight, even as President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska.
Russia launched 85 attack drones and a ballistic missile aimed at Ukrainian territory, the Ukrainian Air Force said this morning.
Territories on the front line in the Sumy, Donetsk, Chernihiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions were targeted in overnight airstrikes, the air force said on the Telegram messaging app. It said its air defense units destroyed 61 drones.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in its morning daily report that 139 clashes had taken place on the front line over the past day.
