A Russian airstrike has tragically left 21 people dead, including two children, as Russian pilots 'dropped 500kg bombs' on the Ukrainian city of Sumy.
Images taken at the scene showcase the devastating aftermath of the attack, with small bodies being pulled from the rubble.
One of a team of men working to evacuate the bodies is seen to be gently placing a blanket over the face of an unmoving body, before moving to help elsewhere at the scene, The Mirror writes.
A video of the scene, too graphic to show, was uploaded to the platform Twitter by Ukraine's Ambassador to Austria, Olexander Scherba, who described it as the “barbaric bombardment” of a residential area in Sumy on the evening of March 7.
He wrote: “18 dead civilians. Many children."
Sumy authorities have this morning confirmed the death toll from the strike now sits at 21.
A tweet from Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security (Stratcom Centre UA) about the horror attack said: "Last night Russian pilots committed another crime against humanity in Sumy.
"They dropped 500-kilogram bombs on residential buildings. " it continued.
"#StopRussia"
Dmytro Zhyvytsky, who leads the Sumy Regional Military Administration, also shared a video of the reported attack online.
"The kids are being killed..” he said.
“We will never forgive this!"
It comes as Russia has this morning opened "humanitarian corridors" so people can be evacuated from Sumy and four other Ukrainian cities: Cherhihiv, Kyiv, Kharkiv and Mariupol.
A humanitarian corridor is designed as a demilitarised zone that would allow people out safely, with the aim of reducing the number of civilians killed or wounded by attacks on cities.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterIn “The War of the Worlds,” Tom Cruise flees an alien invasion in a Plymouth minivan. The camera swoops around and around, capturing the drama inside the van as it swerves through traffic, and rising from a point below the bumper to look down on the chaos from high above.That shot was made possible by the Russian Arm, a gyro-stabilized crane mounted on the roof of a car. The technology was introduced in the late 1990s, and has become a mainstay of the “Fast and Furious” and “Mission: Impossible” franchises as well as Marvel and DC superhero films such as “Black Widow” and “Wonder Woman.” Whenever there’s a car chase or a cavalry charge or a stampede of giant robots, the director calls for the Russian Arm.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorSpotify has suspended premium service in Russia after the country launched its war on Ukraine — a move that the audio streaming powerhouse expects to result in a loss of about 1.5 million paying customers in the first quarter of 2022.That’s according to Spotify CFO Paul Vogel, who spoke at Morgan Stanley’s 2022 Technology, Media and Telecom Conference on Wednesday. According to a Spotify spokesperson, the loss of its business in Russia is not material: The country represents less than 1% of total revenue.Vogel also alluded to the recent controversy over podcaster Joe Rogan, which has spurred calls to boycott the streamer (but Vogel didn’t identify Rogan by name).Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to Vogel, Spotify was trending ahead of its Q1 guidance of adding a net 8 million total users, including 3 million paying customers.
