#Sumy

Russia has once again deployed its deadly 'double-tap' tactic, this time also using cluster munitions, targeting the city of Sumy. This widely documented strategy aims to inflict widespread devastation and maximize civilian casualties, indiscriminately targeting civilians and first responders.

On the morning of April 13, 2025, at approximately 10:15 a.m., Russian forces fired two ballistic missiles at the central area of Sumy, Ukraine. The attack took place on Palm Sunday, a time when the city’s streets were crowded with civilians. Ukrainian authorities report that the strike resulted in at least 34 deaths, including two children, and left 117 people injured, among them 15 children.
