An overnight Russian drone attack injured 14 people in Ukraine’s Sumy region and destroyed more than a dozen private homes, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko has said.
“Russia continues to manifest its fears through acts of pure terrorism across Ukraine, once again targeting the homes of families and their sleeping children,” Svyrydenko wrote in an Aug. 20 statement on X. “Among the regions targeted overnight was Okhtyrka in Sumy region, where a residential neighborhood was hit.”
