STORYLINE:
Two people were injured early Saturday morning when a Russian Iskander-K missile struck a residential and shopping area in Sumy in northeastern Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian authorities.
The strike destroyed more than 10 cars, damaged a shopping mall and blew the windows out of several residences.
Firefighters arrived on the scene to put out fires caused by the missile strike.
Oleksandr Khartsys, 37, spent the night in his tattoo studio, near where the missile struck.
"I spent the night here. I woke up from the loud explosion, the doors and windows blew up. I jumped up, and here the cars were burning and blowing up,” he told the Associated Press.
Ukrainian troops have been trying to divert the Kremlin’s military focus away from the front line in Ukraine by launching a bold cross-border incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Thursday that Pokrovsk and other nearby towns in the Donetsk region were still facing intense Russian assaults.
