Russian Missiles Injure Dozens in Ukraine’s Sumy; Ukraine Kills 6, Incl. 3 Russian Journalists

HeadlineMar 25, 2025

In Ukraine, over 80 people were wounded, including children, in a Russian missile attack Monday on a densely populated area in the city of Sumy which also severely damaged a school and hospital. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian rocket attack in eastern Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Luhansk region killed at least six people, including three Russian journalists.

The latest attacks came as U.S. and Russian officials wrapped up talks in Saudi Arabia Monday over a proposed ceasefire deal between Kyiv and Moscow. Ukrainian and U.S. delegations also met separately in Riyadh. Details have not been made public, but a main issue on the agenda was reportedly the revival of a 2022 grain deal allowing Kyiv to export across the Black Sea in exchange for an easing of Western sanctions on Moscow.
