A Russian drone attack on Sumy, Ukraine, early Friday killed two and injured 12, damaging buildings and vehicles. This follows recent deadly attacks, including a missile strike on Sunday that killed 11 and caused power outages.
A Russian drone attack on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy early on Friday morning resulted in the deaths of two people and left 12 others injured, according to local authorities.
The strike took place around 5 a.m. (0300 GMT) and caused significant damage to the area. Twelve apartment buildings, five private homes, a store, and three cars were reported to be affected by the attack, as confirmed by the national police.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of deadly Russian strikes on the Sumy region, which has seen repeated assaults on its critical infrastructure in recent weeks.
Just days earlier, on Tuesday, a drone attack on the small town of Hlukhiv in the same region killed 12 people, including a child. Additionally, a missile strike on Sumy on Sunday evening killed 11 people and injured 89 others, leaving the region’s administrative center without power.
