Details: The Air Force said that at around 18:00 on 1 February, Russian aircraft launched a guided aerial bomb on a place where civilians were residing temporarily (7 Lenina Street, Sudzha, Russia), a three-storey former nursing home building with 86 local civilians inside, and a National Police of Ukraine station staffed by four police officers.

The strike destroyed the central part of the building. As of 21:00, four people had been killed, four seriously injured and about 80 civilians were found unharmed.

The seriously injured people were evacuated to stabilisation centres for medical assistance and further evacuation to hospital.

Quote: "Hitting civilians with bombs is a trademark of Russian criminals! Even when the civilians are local residents, Russians.

As usual, numerous Russian [Telegram] channels are blaming Ukraine for the attack. This is not true! There is indisputable evidence and in-flight data records show that the strike was carried out by Russian tactical aircraft."
