Eight people have now died following the double strike on a medical facility in Sumy. The rescue operation is ongoing, according to a statement from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Sumy. Russia struck one of the city hospitals with Shahed drones. Eight people are confirmed dead. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Eleven people were injured, and 113 patients have been evacuated from the hospital," President Zelenskyy said.
According to the president, the rescue operation is still ongoing.
"We are mitigating the consequences, saving lives. We are doing everything possible to provide the necessary assistance to our people," he added.
Zelenskyy emphasized that everyone worldwide discussing this war should take note of where Russia strikes — the occupiers are targeting hospitals, civilian facilities, and human lives.
"Only force can compel Russia to seek peace. Peace through strength — this is the only right way forward. Thank you to everyone who is helping us on this path," the president concluded.
