Russian drone strike kills two civilians in Ukraine's Sumy region

Two civilians were killed and one person injured after Russian forces launched a drone strike on the Bititsky community in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region on July 6, local officials said on Sunday.

According to Oleh Hryhorov, head of the Sumy regional military administration, Russia used four combat drones and also carried out missile and aerial bomb attacks throughout the day. “This is systematic terror against civilians,” he said.

Serhiy Kryvosheyenko, head of the Sumy city military administration, reported that 25 private houses were damaged, with five completely destroyed. Fires in the residential area were still being extinguished, and there may be people trapped under rubble.

One additional person sought medical help due to acute stress reaction.
