In the oblasts of Sumy, Kherson, and Kharkiv, Russian drone and artillery strikes overnight on June 24 killed at least ten civilians and injured fourteen more, leaving a deadly path across multiple Ukrainian provinces.
In addition to causing fires and emergency reactions across the nation, the strikes damaged scores of homes and civilian infrastructure.
Shortly after midnight, a community in the Verkhnia Syrovatka hromada of Sumy Oblast was the target of a massive drone attack.
Three individuals were murdered, including an eight-year-old kid whose body was found among the debris of a damaged house, according to the State Emergency Service and the National Police.
The strike also claimed the lives of a man and a woman from separate families. Three youngsters were among the six injured and admitted to the hospital.
The attack resulted in a big fire and damaged four cars and nearly 30 homes. Police, ambulances, and emergency personnel are still present.
Attacks on Sumy, which is near Ukraine’s northeastern border with Russia, have increased as a result of intensified Russian activities in the area.
More than 200 communities have been forced to evacuate as Russian militaryhave pushed into an area of roughly 200 square kilometres since March.
According to reports, Ukrainian troops have been attempting to contain the onslaught by pushing back in recent weeks.
Between June 23 and 24, Russian artillery and drone strikes in Kherson Oblast, further south, left four people dead and five injured. Kherson city was one of 29 communities in the region that were affected by the attacks, according to Governor Oleksandr Prokudin.
A shop, four private residences, a number of cars, and residential buildings were all damaged. Situated just north of Russian-occupied Crimea, Kherson has been subjected to repeated shelling since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion and is still constantly in danger.
Meanwhile, Russian soldiers used Iranian-made Shahed drones to launch a nocturnal drone attack in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
