Ukraine’s National Guard has said that six servicemen were killed and 10 others wounded in a Russian missile strike on a training exercise in the Sumy border region.

The attack is a major setback for Ukraine’s military. Meanwhile, the National Guard said it had prepared a response plan for air strikes and large gatherings.

On the other hand, Russia’s Defence Ministry had earlier released a video purporting to show an Iskander missile attack on a training camp, and state news agency Tass said up to 70 people had died.

The Sumy region has come under repeated bombardment, and Ukraine had launched a months-long occupation of part of Russia’s neighbouring Kursk region from Sumy region.
