UMAN, Ukraine (AP) — Relatives and friends cried next to coffins as they buried children and others killed in a Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Uman. Six of the 23 victims were children, and almost all of the dead in Friday’s attack were killed when two missiles slammed into an apartment building. Mykhayl Shulha, who’s 6, cried and hugged relatives next to the coffin of his 11-year-old sister during Sunday’s funeral. Others paid respects to an 17-year-old boy. Russia’s 14-month-long war brought more deaths elsewhere Sunday. The governor of a Russian region bordering Ukraine said four people were killed in a Ukrainian rocket attack on the village of Suzemka.
