A Russian strike on residential areas and infrastructure in Sumy injured 11 people, including four children. The “Ukrzaliznytsia” rail depot was also damaged.
The State Emergency Service in the Sumy region said Russian fire struck a nine-story residential building.
Fires broke out in five apartments and seven balconies on the upper floors. Emergency responders rescued 12 residents of the building.
Eleven people were injured, including four children.
“Russia sent 10 drones at Sumy in just one hour. All strikes targeted civilian infrastructure... A 14-year-old girl was hospitalized. Her life is not in danger — doctors provided the necessary care and are monitoring her condition,” said Oleg Hryhorov, head of the Sumy Regional Administration.
In Sumy’s private sector, two outbuildings caught fire, and a one-story house with five apartments was damaged by the blast wave. The largest destruction and most extensive fires were at an infrastructure site.
The Sumy Regional Administration said the passenger depot was damaged - part of the service facilities and several railcars were destroyed. The Sumy–Kyiv train departed on schedule with a replacement consist.
Russian forces continue to attack Ukrainian regions with various weapons - strike drones, missiles, glide bombs and MLRS.
Russia’s leadership denies that its army deliberately targets civilian infrastructure in Ukrainian cities and towns during the full-scale war, killing civilians and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and energy and water facilities.
Ukrainian authorities and international organizations classify these strikes as war crimes by the Russian Federation and say they are deliberate.
Meanwhile, overnight on October 31, drones launched mass attacks on Russian regions: Russian public channels reported strikes on energy facilities in the Vladimir and Oryol regions, as well as explosions in the Yaroslavl region.
