Fatal Russian Guided Bomb Attack in Ukraine’s Sumy Region

A Russian guided bomb attack in Ukraine's Sumy region bordering Russia's Kursk region resulted in two fatalities, according to the local prosecutors. Moscow troops allegedly targeted civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy noted a reduction in shelling and civilian casualties following Kyiv's incursion into the Kursk region.

A Russian guided bomb strike in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, which borders Russia's Kursk region, claimed two lives, as reported by local prosecutors on Thursday. The bombs targeted civilian infrastructure, according to a statement from regional prosecutors on Telegram.

In addition to the fatalities, the attack also left one person injured. Russia has been intensifying its assaults on Ukrainian border areas, prompting Kyiv to conduct a surprise operation in the Kursk region aimed at disrupting Moscow's capability to launch such attacks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who visited the Sumy region on Thursday, noted a decrease in both shelling and civilian casualties since the Kursk operation.
