Russian forces carried out another massive drone attack on Ukraine overnight, damaging railway infrastructure and other facilities in the northeastern Sumy Oblast, Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery Oleksii Kuleba reported on Feb. 5, sharing photos of the aftermath on Facebook.
In the Shostka district, one of the drones hit the so-called “Invincibility Carriage,” a shelter, warming and recharge point used by residents amid widespread blackouts and heating disruptions.
