Several people, including a child, were injured in a Russian drone attack on a densely populated residential neighborhood of Sumy, regional Governor Oleh Hryhorov reported on Telegram shortly after midnight on Sep. 2.
The strikes caused a large fire in the city’s Zarechnyi district.
Several non-residential buildings and shops were destroyed. Four nearby apartment buildings were damaged. One of the drones narrowly missed a kindergarten.
Emergency efforts are underway, and a coordination headquarters has been set up at Specialized School No. 1.
Several public transportation routes have been temporarily adjusted to bypass the site of the attack.
