A resident of Sumy whose home was damaged in a Russian attack described the aftermath of the strike to Ukrainian public broadcaster Suspilne on Aug. 4.
On August 4, a Sumy resident recounted the devastating impact of a Russian bombing on his home in an interview with Ukrainian broadcaster Suspilne. Nearly the entire building suffered damage, with blown-out windows, a damaged roof, and a wrecked car. Despite his own survival, the resident lamented the tragic loss of life: "My neighbor's children were killed — that's the real problem."
Suspilne also aired footage illustrating the extent of the residential buildings destroyed by the Russian aerial bombs that killed three people overnight in Sumy. The victims included two young girls, aged 5 and 10, and a 75-year-old woman. Across Sumy Oblast, four people were killed and seven injured as a result of these strikes the previous day, according to police.
The fourth fatality was an 88-year-old woman in Richky municipality, struck by a drone. A separate drone attack injured a 50-year-old man in Shostka municipality. Criminal proceedings have been initiated under Ukraine's Criminal Code (war crimes) for each of the attacks.
