Russian forces have launched attacks on two areas in Ukraine's border Sumy region, where Moscow has established a presence in recent months, according to authorities.
Ukrainian officials say 14 people were injured in the strikes, including a 5-year-old boy.
Previously, the regional military administration reported on Telegram that drone attacks in the town of Putyvl injured 11 people and caused damage to civilian infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Artem Kobzar, mayor of Sumy city to the southeast, said a guided bomb strike injured three people and damaged a residential building, breaking windows and balconies.
Sumy region has been a strategic area in the conflict. Ukrainian forces used it as a launching point for a major incursion into Russia’s Kursk region nearly a year ago. The Kremlin claims Ukrainian troops have been pushed out, and President Vladimir Putin has announced plans to create a buffer zone there.
The Kremlin’s intensified military operations in Sumy are part of a broader campaign in northern Ukraine, which has included missile and drone strikes targeting both military and civilian sites.
Earlier in April 2025, a missile strike on Sumy city resulted in at least 35 civilian deaths and significant destruction of homes and infrastructure, marking one of the deadliest attacks in the region this year.
