On September 21, Russian forces launched an airstrike on the city of Sumy, injuring one person and leaving part of the city without power. According to the Sumy Regional Military Administration, the attack used glide bombs, resulting in fires from dry grass and damage to private homes.<\/p>\n

The Sumy City Council confirmed that two explosions impacted both residential and industrial areas, with the Baranivka district suffering a power outage. Local authorities are working to restore services.<\/p>\n

This follows another airstrike on September 19, when Russian forces hit a geriatric boarding house, killing one elderly woman and injuring several others.<\/p>\n

These ongoing attacks have significantly escalated in 2024, causing widespread disruption and fear among civilians in the region. Efforts to assess the full extent of the damage from the most recent strike are underway, with local authorities urging residents to remain cautious.<\/p>\n
