Russian troops hit the city of Shostka in Sumy Oblast with four guided aerial bombs on the morning of April 3, killing one woman and wounding three others, including members of her family, regional governor Oleh Hryhorov reported.
A 59-year-old woman was killed in one of the strikes. Three injured were hospitalized, including a 29-year-old woman in serious condition. Among the wounded are relatives of the deceased woman.
According to the regional administration, Russia used four KAB guided aerial bombs. The strikes damaged private houses and an apartment building.
The Sumy Oblast Military Administration said Russian forces carried out more than 70 attacks across 35 settlements in 17 municipalities over the past day. Most attacks were recorded in the Sumy and Shostka districts. Russian forces used mortars, artillery, FPV-drones, UAVs, and guided aerial bombs.
Early on April 3, air raid alerts were declared in several regions of Ukraine due to the threat of Russian attack drones. Russia launched a significant number of UAVs from multiple directions and scrambled a group of strategic bombers Tu-95 and Tu-160.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
