KYIV, Ukraine (AA) – The death toll from Russian airstrikes on Ukraine’s northeastern city of Sumy has risen to 22, an official said Wednesday.

Dmytro Zhyvytsky, head of Ukraine's Sumy Regional Military Administration, said the Sumi region was bombed three times Tuesday and that 22 people lost their lives, including three children.

Noting that eight people were wounded in the attacks, Zhyvytsky said more than 20 single-story homes were also destroyed.

Russia's war on Ukraine, which began on Feb. 24, has drawn international condemnation, led to financial sanctions on Moscow and spurred an exodus of global firms from Russia.

At least 474 civilians have been killed and 861 injured in Ukraine since the beginning of the war, according to the UN, which noted that conditions on the ground make it difficult to verify the true number.

Some 2 million people have also fled to neighboring countries, said the UN Refugee Agency.
