00:00At least two people have died in Ukraine after another Russian attack on the northeastern

00:06city of Sumy.

00:09During the early hours of Friday, firefighters worked long into the night, clearing up dead

00:15bodies and putting out fires.

00:18Local authorities claim that the Shaheed drones, supplied by Iran, were loaded with shrapnel.

00:25As with the previous missile strike, today the Shaheed drones are equipped with shrapnel.

00:54Apart from the two casualties, 12 other people were injured in the attack.
