Updated toll from the earlier attack

Combining the two incidents, the total number of people injured in Sumy over the course of the day has reached 19. Among the injured is an infant, underscoring the presence of highly vulnerable civilians among those affected.
Sumy, located near the border with Russia, has repeatedly come under Russian aerial attack in recent times, including strikes using guided aerial bombs. These weapons are released from aircraft at a distance from the target, allowing them to be dropped while reducing risk to the attacking aircraft, and are capable of causing significant damage in populated areas.
The source report does not provide further details on damage to infrastructure or the condition of ongoing emergency response efforts in the city.
