Russia allegedly launches intentional assault on civilians in Sumy, as claimed by Zelenskyy.
Helluva day in Sumy, Ukraine. Russian rockets struck the city, leaving three dead and over twenty injured. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took to social media, accusin' Moscow of intentionally targetin' civilians.
Early this mornin', around rush hour, the commotion started. Five rockets launched from Russian missile systems hit the city center of Sumy[1]. One shell slammed into a bustlin' road, wreakin' havoc and scarin' the bejeezus outta everyone nearby[1].
A hospital, vehicles, homes, and several other buildings took a beating[1]. As of now, Three people are dead[3], and 20 more are injured. The head of the city administration, Oleh Grygorov, shared the grim news on multiple platforms[1].
While Russian forces declared capturin' another location in the Sumy region[1], Ukraine fears a massive milit'ry offensive against the city's border[1]. Last year, Ukraine tricked Russia with a surprise offensive in the neighborin' region of Kursk, but Russian forces eventually recaptured the territory[1].
Remember, just last week, more than 50,000 Russian soldiers were deployed to the border of the region[1]. This ain't the first time they've fired their weapons at Sumy—an April Russian attack using a ballistic missile claimed the lives of over 30 people[1].
By the way, here are some interesting nuggets if you want 'em:
- The damage in Sumy included destruction of two cars, damage to a medical facility, residential buildings, a private house, and non-residential buildings[2].
- A full-throttle, intentional attack on civilians caused widespread shock and nervousness among locals[2].
- Tensions and hostilities in the region are escalatin', with reports of troops accumulatin' near Sumy Oblast in recent weeks[2].

The Commission seems to pause on adopting a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, as it navigates through the general news that includes politics and ongoing war-and-conflicts, with the latest being an intentional attack on Sumy civilians in Ukraine by Russian forces.
In the midst of this crisis, the tragic incident in Sumy has resulted in three dead and over twenty injured, leading many to question the deliberate targeting of civilians in this war-torn region.
