Moscow: Russian forces on Sunday hit the site of a meeting of Ukrainian command staff in the city of Sumy with Iskander cruise missiles, killing 60 servicepeople, the Russian Defence Ministry said on Monday.

"Yesterday, under the conditions of active counteraction of Ukrainian troops by foreign-made electronic warfare and air defence means, the Russian armed forces carried out a strike on the site of a meeting of the Seversk tactical and operational command's leadership in Sumy using two Iskander-M operational-tactical complexes," the ministry said in a statement.

The Kiev regime continues to use civilians as a "living shield" by placing military facilities in heavily populated cities, the statement read.

"The strike killed over 60 Ukrainian troops," the ministry added.
