Four killed, 28 injured as Russia strikes Sumy; Rescue operations conclude

Ukrainian emergency services have completed rescue operations at the sites of Russian missile strikes on the city of Sumy, which left four people dead and 28 injured, including three children, officials said on Tuesday evening.

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) reported that the rescue efforts were carried out simultaneously across seven different locations hit during the early morning attack on June 3. Emergency crews temporarily restored shattered windows and roofs in residential buildings and cleared debris from damaged areas.

Explosive ordnance disposal teams inspected the sites and removed fragments of unexploded ordnance. SES psychologists and medics were also deployed to provide support and assistance to residents throughout the day.

According to updated information, one of the injured, a 43-year-old man, died in hospital after being in critical condition, bringing the death toll to four. Among the 28 injured are three children, and several victims remain in serious condition.

The attack involved long-range multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), with strikes occurring nearly simultaneously in different areas of the city.

In response to the tragedy, local authorities have declared June 4 a day of mourning in Sumy in honor of those killed in the Russian attack.
