Two consecutive Russian attacks on a medical center in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy resulted in the tragic loss of at least nine lives on Saturday morning. The first strike claimed the life of one individual, and a second attack occurred while patients and staff were evacuating the premises, according to Ukraine’s Interior Minister.
Local officials in Sumy reported that Shahed drones were utilized in the assault, which also left twelve other individuals wounded. Sumy, located approximately 20 miles from Russia’s Kursk region, has been a focal point for Ukrainian troops since early August in an effort to divert Russian military attention from the main front line in Ukraine.
