In the morning, the Russians continued to bombard Sumy, hitting an apartment block and critical infrastructure facilities. The aftermath of this attack is being confirmed.

One of the family’s neighbours said that the man’s sister was living separately in an annexe. She suffered from a mental illness, so she could not take care of herself. And the drone precisely hit the house where the man, the woman and their child lived.

It was reported that the man was found and brought outside by neighbours, and the woman and the child were trapped under the rubble. At that moment, the house caught fire.
