One of the deadliest such attacks occurred April 13 in the northern city of Sumy, where two ballistic missiles struck the historic city center minutes apart. The blasts killed at least 31 civilians — including two young boys — and injured 105. Many victims were caught in the open while rushing to help those wounded in the first explosion or while riding a bus near the impact zone.According to Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office, at least 630 children have been killed since the start of the war, and more than 1,960 injured.Korostyshiv, a town rarely shaken by tragedy of this scale, stood united in mourning Wednesday.

“They were some talented children who were supposed to keep living, but sadly, the war took their lives. We are very sad, the entire school and the community are mourning,” Skok said.Mourners passed slowly by the coffins to pay their final respects. Some placed flowers. Others could barely walk.

“This is an irreparable loss that will leave a deep mark in the hearts of each of us,” Zhytomyr regional Gov. Vitalii Bunechko in a statement. “We bow our heads in memory of the children whose lives were cut short by Russian missiles.”
