A Russian drone deliberately attacked a civilian minibus heading toward the Pishchanskyi district of the Sumy community, local military administration chief of staff Ihor Kalchenko reported on March 24.
"It was a civilian vehicle — a minibus. The enemy deliberately chose it as a target," he stressed.
There were no passengers in the vehicle at the time of the strike, but the 65-year-old driver was injured in the attack.
The man is being examined by medics, his life is not in danger.
From the morning of March 23 to the morning of March 24, Russian troops launched over 80 attacks on 28 settlements across 17 territorial communities in Sumy Oblast.
The highest number of attacks was recorded in the Sumy and Shostka districts, Kalchenko reported.
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.
