Russian Glide Bombs Strike Sumy, Injuring 7

Russian tactical aircraft launched six guided aerial bombs (KABs) on Friday, Nov. 6, against the northeastern city of Sumy, injuring seven civilians across four impact zones. The strikes targeted residential homes, utility infrastructure, and an industrial area in the Zarichnyi and Kovpakivskyi districts. Among the wounded were three men aged 23, 56, and 69, and four women aged 29, 41, 78, and 90. Four victims were hospitalized, while the remaining three received outpatient treatment for blast injuries.

The bombardment caused significant structural damage to over 15 residences and multi-story buildings. It also disrupted municipal gas distribution and electricity supply, leading to localized outages. Emergency responders and municipal repair crews are assessing the damage and working to restore services. This attack followed another airstrike on Friday evening in the Kyiv region, where a Russian loitering munition destroyed a private home in Brovary district, killing a 66-year-old woman and seriously injuring her 75-year-old husband.

Both victims received emergency medical aid but the husband later succumbed to his injuries. The missile strike also set a house ablaze, which was extinguished by municipal firefighters.

These attacks coincide with an overnight missile barrage on Kyiv on Saturday, Nov. 7, where Russian forces launched at least six ballistic missiles, injuring five people, including a child. The attack destroyed a two-story building on a kindergarten grounds and damaged several neighboring residential buildings. Blast waves and flying debris caused structural damage to one structure and shattered windows across the area.

Fires were also ignited in a transport truck and an adjacent nonresidential building. Mayor Vitali Klitschko advised residents to stay in underground shelters as air raid alerts were issued across the capital.
