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 a family and children's support centre, damaging the building. 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 was crushed by a falling tree.
Update: As of 20:25, another person has been reported injured.
Those affected include a 12-year-old girl suffering from shock. Of the five adults injured in the attack, a 66-year-old man has been hospitalised, while a 54-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man are receiving outpatient treatment. Two other women were given medical assistance and sent home.
