Quote from Hryhorov: "Sadly, today, as a result of an enemy strike on Sumy, two people have been killed. An elderly woman and a 16-year-old girl."

Details: Five more people were injured, including one child.

Russian forces attacked Sumy with three guided aerial bombs. One of the strikes hit near the building of a family and child support centre, damaging the structure. At the time of the impact, there were no visitors inside.

According to Kordon.Media, one of those killed in Sumy was 16-year-old Kateryna. The girl had gone to the shop. When she heard the danger of incoming GABs heading towards the city, she began running to the nearest shelter. However, she did not make it in time, and a fallen tree collapsed on her.
