Sumy has once again become the target of a Russian attack. As a result of the strike by guided aerial bombs, four people were killed, including a child. The number of injured has reached 17, three of whom are in critical condition. This was reported by the head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hryhorov, in his Telegram channel.

### Strike on crowded areas

According to Hryhorov, the enemy launched another cynical attack. Two guided aerial bombs hit a crowded area where civilians were present, and cars and public transport were moving. The epicenter of one of the strikes was a road and a public transport stop.

Another strike was directed at an infrastructure facility. The head of the Regional Military Administration emphasized that Russia continues to attempt to destroy the city's life-support system.

"The enemy clearly understood that civilians would be under attack," Hryhorov stated.

### Consequences of the explosions

The blast wave damaged multi-story buildings around the impact sites. Hundreds of windows and balcony frames were blown out. Work to eliminate the consequences of the attack will begin as soon as the security situation allows. Hryhorov assured that all injured will receive necessary assistance.

New wounded continue to be admitted to hospitals. Among the dead is a child, which is particularly tragic for local residents and causes outrage across the country.

### Previous attacks on Sumy

Recall that on July 3, Russians launched a massive strike on Sumy with a large number of drones and guided aerial bombs. At that time, the attack hit one of the central streets of the city, a multi-story building, a store, and a road were hit. Three people were killed, 27 were injured, including a 13-year-old child in critical condition.

Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, after a meeting in the region, stated that since June, the security situation in the Sumy region has significantly worsened. According to him, Russia has scaled up the use of "Molniya" type UAVs, fiber-optic FPV drones, combat drones, and KABs.

Sumy remains one of the most vulnerable territories of Ukraine, where regular attacks from Russia occur. Local residents are forced to live under constant threat, while authorities are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of the population and restore destroyed infrastructure.
