Eight people died and 11 were injured in the Russian army's air strikes on a hospital in the city of Sumy. 113 patients were evacuated from the hospital.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to another Russian attack on Ukrainian civilians.

"Russia hit one of the hospitals in the city with Shahed drones. So far, we know about 8 dead. My condolences to the families and friends. Eleven people were wounded, 113 patients were evacuated from the hospital. The rescue operation is ongoing. We are eliminating the consequences and saving lives. We are doing our best to provide our people with the necessary assistance," the President said in a statement. 

Zelenskyy advised everyone who "talks about this war" to pay attention to where Russia is hitting. 

"They [Russians] are fighting hospitals, civilian objects, human lives. Only power can force Russia to peace. Peace through force is the only right way. I thank everyone who helps us on this path," Zelenskyy said.
