At least 18 people, including two children, were injured on Saturday when Russian forces launched a drone strike on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy, local authorities said. The attack, which struck residential areas, damaged apartment blocks and vehicles, according to the Sumy Regional Military Administration. The injury toll rose from 13 to 18 within hours, Ukrinform reported .

The strike was carried out using a modified jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicle, Sumy’s regional head Oleh Hryhorov told the Kyiv Post, adding that the assault deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure . Graphic footage and photographs shared by Pravda.ua showed damaged buildings and emergency responders attending to casualties .

Across Ukraine on Friday and Saturday, Russian attacks killed seven civilians and wounded 89 others, the Kyiv Independent reported, citing Ukraine’s Air Force which said 129 Shahed-type drones were launched overnight . In Kharkiv region alone, one person was killed and eight injured as 19 settlements came under fire . In Zaporizhzhia, 29 people were injured and one killed in strikes that also targeted rescue workers responding to a previous blaze, Ukrinform said .

Russia’s Defence Ministry acknowledged that Ukrainian strikes on the Volgograd region killed one person and wounded 11, while Moscow claimed Kyiv’s forces hit a museum complex in Rostov, injuring 12 .

The escalation follows days of intensified cross-border strikes and drone exchanges. On Friday, Russian attacks on Dnipropetrovsk region killed one woman and injured two others, including a 13-year-old girl . In Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, 44 civilians were injured and one killed in strikes on 26 June .
