Russia struck Sumy with KAB bombs
The aerial bombs struck a school, residential buildings and a cemetery. At the time of the strike, the children were in a shelter, which prevented a much higher number of casualties among them.
Only rubble remains of the school building. Windows were blown out in neighbouring buildings.
Sumy is located relatively close to the border with Russia, which makes the city vulnerable to various types of weapons, including drones, missiles and guided aerial bombs.
