“We have information about three dead. Among them is an eight-year-old boy,” said Oleg Grygorov, head of the Sumy region’s military administration. “The strike took the lives of people from different families. They all lived on the same street. They went to sleep in their homes but the Russian drones interrupted their sleep — forever.” Russian drone strikes also left five people wounded in Kharkiv, as well as four others in the Dnipropetrovsk region, authorities said on Telegram.

Drone Attack On Moscow

Russia said a drone had targeted a residential building in Moscow overnight, wounding two people, including a pregnant woman. “About 100 people were evacuated from the building, including 30 children,” according to the region’s governor, Andrei Vorobyov, who added that two more drones were shot down.

Russia had fired dozens of drones and missiles at Ukraine a day earlier, ripping open a housing block in Kyiv, killing 10 civilians and burying others beneath the rubble. Separate Russian attacks on Monday in the southern Odesa region left two people dead and another dozen wounded, local authorities said.

Russia occupies around a fifth of Ukraine and claims to have annexed four Ukrainian regions as its own since launching its invasion in 2022 — in addition to Crimea, which it captured in 2014. Kyiv has accused Moscow of deliberately sabotaging a peace deal in order to prolong its full-scale offensive and to seize more territory.
