KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Ukrainian official says a Russian strike on a nine-story building in the city of Sumy killed eight people and wounded dozens, as Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack described by officials as the largest in recent months. Among the eight killed in Sumy, 24 miles from the border with Russia, were two children, said Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko. More than 400 people were evacuated from the building. The rescuers are checking every apartment looking for people who might be still in the damaged building. The attack targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as fears mount about Moscow’s intentions to devastate Ukraine’s power generation capacity before winter.
