The situation in Sumy remains critical following another Russian strike. The number of fatalities resulting from the attack carried out in the morning of July 11 has risen to five. One additional victim was recorded at a medical facility.

As Sumy Mayor Artem Kobzar reported in his Telegram channel, a man who had previously sustained severe injuries during the shelling died in the hospital. 'Regrettably, a man who suffered severe injuries as a result of enemy shelling passed away in the hospital,' the city head wrote.

### Scale of human losses

With the new fatality, the total number of people injured in the incident has reached 30. Five of them are in critical condition. Medical personnel continue to provide emergency aid and fight to save the lives of the wounded.

Earlier, immediately after the strike, the head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hryhorov, reported four dead and seven injured. Updated data confirms the tragic nature of the event and the rising number of victims.

### Nature of the attack

According to sources, the enemy struck civilian infrastructure in the Zarechne district of the city with three guided aerial bombs. The attack took place as part of a massive operation conducted by Russia on the night of July 11. During the same period, 121 attack drones were launched across Ukraine, along with ballistic and guided air-to-surface missiles.

Currently, work to eliminate the consequences of the strike continues in the city. Rescue workers and utility services are assessing the damage and ensuring the safety of the population in the affected areas.
