A Russian drone attack destroyed an Indian-owned pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in Ukraine's Sumy region, resulting in one death and multiple injuries, according to reports. The facility, operated by the Kusum Group, had been in continuous operation throughout the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Visuals from the site revealed significant damage, with a substantial plume of smoke rising from the destroyed building.
The company manufactures over 50 generic pharmaceutical products, which are sold across various international markets including Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and the Philippines. The attack comes amidst a surge in Russian drone strikes targeting civilian and industrial infrastructure in Sumy, a region close to the Ukrainian border with Russia.
This is not the first time Kusum Group's Ukrainian operations have faced Russian drone strikes; a prior attack in 2025 destroyed one of the group's warehouses in Kyiv, causing substantial financial losses. The latest incident represents a grave setback for the Indian-linked company, given the extensive structural damage and reported casualties.
