He said several houses were also destroyed when a bomb hit near the centre of Sumy.
“In some localities, residential buildings were bombed,’’ Mr Zhyvytskyisaid in a statement on Tuesday.
Four Ukrainian soldiers were also killed in what Mr Zhyvytskyi described as “unequal combat with the Russian military.’’
