Russia launches drone strike on Ukraine’s Sumy
Russian forces launched a drone strike on Ukraine's northeastern Sumy Oblast on July 21, injuring 13 people, including a 5-year-old boy, local officials said.
"This evening, Russia attacked civilian infrastructure in the Putvyl community with drones," Governor Oleh Hryhorov wrote on Telegram, News.Az reports, citing Ukrainian media.
Hryhorov initially reported at approximately 10:00 p.m. local time that four people, including the child, were injured and received medical assistance without hospitalization. Later updates increased the number of injured to 13.
A fire broke out at the scene, and emergency crews are continuing to try to contain the damage, he added.
The attack on Sumy Oblast follows U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to impose "severe" tariffs on Russia in 50 days if there is no peace deal with Ukraine. While Kyiv and Moscow plan to resume peace talks on July 23, the Kremlin continues to launch attacks across Ukraine.
