Russian Forces Strike Sumy Twice, Hitting Area During Rescue Work; Three Injured

Russian forces struck the city of Sumy in northeastern Ukraine twice on Friday evening, according to the regional military administration, the body that oversees civil and security matters in the region during wartime. The attacks are part of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.

The administration said the second strike came while help was being provided to people affected by the first attack. In other words, the city was hit again while assistance at the scene was under way.

Preliminary information indicates that three people were wounded as a result of the two strikes. The source does not specify what weapons were used, which parts of the city were hit, or the condition of the injured.

The figures are preliminary and may be updated.
