22 people killed in Russian air strike in Sumy

We've got a bit more detail now on a Russian air strike that killed 22 people - including three children - in the Ukrainian city of Sumy.

Sumy regional governor Dmytro Zhyvytskyi says Russia bombed a residential area in the north-east of city overnight, describing the incident as "mass murder".

Qazet.az reports that nine people in one house were killed. Six houses were completely destroyed and about 20 more were partially destroyed.

As we've been reporting, some 5,000 people have been evacuated from Sumy, after Russia agreed to pause its bombardment of the city allowing a humanitarian corridor to open.
