A Russian drone attack killed two civilians in the northeastern Ukraine border region of Sumy, Ukrainian military officials notified on Sunday.
“The enemy struck civilians in the territory of the Bilopillia community, near one of the settlements, less than 5 km from the state border with the Russian Federation,” Oleg Grygorov, head of Sumy’s regional military administration, said.
He said that a 48-year-old and a 72-year-old man were killed.
Moscow has fired hundreds of drones on its neighbour almost nightly since the beginning of the war, with Kyiv regularly carrying out strikes on Russian energy and military targets in response.
On an earlier Sunday, the Moscow-installed governor of Sevastopol, in Russian-annexed Crimea, said that a man was killed inside a vehicle during a Ukrainian drone attack that damaged several homes and a dance school in different neighbourhoods of the port city.
“Russia shot down 43 drones in the attack”, The governor said.
On Saturday, Ukrainian authorities said at least eight people were killed in the city of Dnipro, in central eastern Ukraine, which was hit by waves of Russian strikes for 20 hours straight.
