Russian drone strikes apartment building in Sumy, injuring 16-year-old boy and woman

A Russian drone targeted an apartment building in Sumy, injuring a 16-year-old boy and a woman, according to the Sumy Regional Military Administration on October 6. The boy sustained minor injuries and is currently receiving medical treatment, while the woman was also injured and received immediate medical assistance on-site. The Sumy Oblast Military Administration confirmed that Russian forces deliberately targeted a residential area within the regional capital.

Additionally, the attack damaged windows in an apartment building and a nearby kindergarten, though the children were safely sheltered at the time and remained unharmed. Earlier on October 4, a Russian assault on Sumy destroyed the Kusum pharmaceutical plant, owned by India's Kusum Group, resulting in the death of an employee. The same day, Russian forces launched an attack on the Zarichnyi district of Sumy using guided aerial bombs, resulting in one person losing their life.

Shortly after, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alleged that Russian forces had targeted a pharmaceutical warehouse in Sumy with drones.
