X072-UCRANIA ATAQUE RUSO
At least 14 people, including a family with three children, were wounded in an overnight Russian attack on Ukraine's northern region of Sumy, Ukraine's prime minister said on Wednesday (August 20).
The strike took place at a time of intense efforts by U.S. President Donald Trump to bring an end to the Russian war in Ukraine.
Russia launched 15 drones in an assault on the Okhtyrka area in the early hours of Wednesday, local prosecutors said on the Telegram messaging app.
The children injured in the attack, which struck a residential neighbourhood in the town, were aged 5 months, 4 years and 6 years, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko wrote on X.
Reuters was not able to independently verify the location and date when the footage released by State Emergency Service of Ukraine was filmed.
Russia has repeatedly said it does not attack civilians or civilian infrastructure.
