A Russian Shahed drone struck an apartment building in Sumy, Ukraine, killing at least six people and injuring nine. The attack, which occurred during the night, also caused significant damage to the building and prompted evacuations. Ukrainian officials condemned the attack as a 'terrible tragedy' and a 'terrible Russian crime'.
A Russian drone blasted a hole in an apartment building in northeastern Ukraine during a nighttime attack, killing at least six people and wounding nine others, officials said Thursday. The Shahed drone blew out a wall and surrounding windows in the building in Sumy , a major city, just after 1 a.m., the Sumy regional administration said. Four people were rescued from the rubble, and a child was among the wounded, it said, adding that 120 people were evacuated.
Russian forces have started using Shahed drones with an increased payload of 200 pounds of explosives and metal shrapnel to “increase the number of casualties,” the head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, Andrii Yermak, said on Telegram. Yermak published photographs of what he claimed were the Shahed warheads, with one photo showing what appeared to be small pieces of metal inside a metal cylinder casing.
