The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that units from the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, and the Security Service of Ukraine carried out the operation, resulting in secondary ammunition explosions at the targeted base. Ukrainian authorities vowed to continue identifying and retaliating against Russian units involved in attacks on civilians.
The attack on Sumy, considered one of the deadliest since the beginning of the war, involved the use of ballistic missiles, possibly Iskander-M or KN-23 of North Korean origin, launched from locations in the Voronezh and Kursk regions. Among the victims were two minors and 15 injured children.
The international community condemned the attack, with European leaders labeling it an act of terrorism and a war crime. Meanwhile, Ukraine has reiterated its commitment to protecting its population and responding to civilian-targeted aggression.
