A pharmaceutical plant run by India’s Kusum Group in Ukraine’s Sumy region was heavily damaged by a Russian drone attack, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries, according to Ukrainian officials and media reports. Images from the scene depicted a significant plume of smoke rising from the area following the drone strikes.
The extent of casualties remains uncertain as authorities evaluate the damage to the facility. The Kusum Group, with Indian origins, established its Sumy plant in 2009 and produces over 50 generic medicines sold in various markets, including Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and the Philippines. The plant sustained substantial damage, with losses estimated at over Rs400 crore.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed condolences to the family of the deceased and condemned the attack, while Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of further strikes on Kyiv and military-industrial facilities.
