Details: Intelligence officers even revealed the settlements from which the strike was launched - Liski (Voronezh Oblast) and Lezhenki (Kursk Oblast).

Andrii Yermak, Head of the Ukrainian President's Office, stated that the missiles were equipped with cluster munitions. Quote from DIU: "Another war crime by Russia - a ballistic missile strike on Sumy, the killing of Ukrainian civilians.  Many people were on their way to church for Palm Sunday, some were returning home from the service.

It is our common cause to ensure that no war criminal - from those who gave the orders to those who launched the missiles - escapes justice."

Background: A Russian missile strike on the centre of Sumy on the morning of 13 April killed 31 people, including 2 children.
