International News: The Russia-Ukraine war is once again seen reaching a fierce and destructive turn. On Sunday, Russia attacked a terrible ballistic missile on Sumi city of Ukraine, causing huge havoc in the area. According to initial reports, at least 21 civilians have died in this attack, while dozens of people were seriously injured. The attack took place when Sumi's citizens were busy in their daily lives. Due to Sunday, many people were going to the church, which further increased the number of casualties. The attack shattered the heart of the city-the missiles showered on the dead areas, schools and running cars destroyed life.

Dangerous turn in the Russia-Ukraine War

Ukrainian officials said that relief and rescue operations continue on a war footing. Fire brigades, police, health workers and other essential services are present on the spot and the injured are constantly being rushed to the hospital. This attack is considered a new and dangerous turn in the Russia-Ukraine War. Experts believe that this attack can be not only military, but also part of psychological pressure strategy.

Russia should get the same strict reply as a terrorist : Jailonsky

Ukrainian President Volodimir Jailonsky has appealed to the international community to take a tough stand on the attack. He said, "The world will have to understand that Russia has adopted the path of terror. Now the time has come for the United States, Europe and the whole world to put up such pressure on Russia, to eliminate the war." Jailonsky also said that now only talks will not work. "Ballistic missiles and air strikes fail the conversation. Russia should get the same strict reply as a terrorist," he said.
