Russian glide bombs scarred a statue of Christ and damaged a 19th-century church in Sumy
The same strike hit a school where children were sheltering and nearby homes, where two people were killed and six injured, three of them children.
On 29 September, Russian glide bombs struck central Sumy, causing damage to a 19th-century church, the city cemetery, a bronze statue of Christ, a school, and nearby homes. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, a national-level architectural monument, was heavily damaged with windows shattered and the roof pitted with bomb fragments.
The statue of Christ outside the church sustained a cut across its chest. The strike also affected about 50 graves in the nearby Central City Cemetery. The same attack caused injuries to two people at a school and six others in a residential area. Over the following night and day, Russia continued its attacks across Ukraine, targeting civilians and churches.
