Six Ukrainian soldiers killed in Russian strike on training exercise5 hours ago Share Save Paul Kirby & James Waterhouse In London and Kyiv Share SaveRussian MOD Russian ministry of defence video showed the training ground shortly before the missile strikeA Russian missile strike on a training exercise in Ukraine's Sumy border region has killed six servicemen and wounded more than 10 others, says Ukraine's National Guard. The Sumy region has come under repeated bombardment, and Ukraine launched a months-long occupation of part of Russia's neighbouring Kursk region from there. The Ukrainian military said the aim of the offensive had been to help create a buffer zone to protect Sumy, but some have complained of the scale of military losses. The unverified Russian military video showed dozens of servicemen walking on a path near a wooded area followed by an explosion and a large plume of smoke. Research by BBC Verify showed the training camp was targeted in the far north of the Sumy region, some way south of the Russian border.
