A Russ­ian rock­et at­tack tar­get­ed the north­east­ern Ukrain­ian city of Sumy on Tues­day, killing at least three peo­ple and wound­ing 25, of­fi­cials said.

Pres­i­dent Volodymyr Ze­len­skyy de­nounced the as­sault, say­ing it un­der­scored that Moscow has no in­ten­tions of halt­ing the 3-year-old war.

The at­tack came a day af­ter di­rect peace talks in Is­tan­bul made no progress on end­ing the fight­ing. Lo­cal au­thor­i­ties said the bar­rage of rock­ets struck apart­ment build­ings and a med­ical fa­cil­i­ty in the cen­tre of Sumy.
