Three die in Ukraine's Sumy region, Zelenskyy says Russian offensive there has failed
- On September 12, 2025, Russian forces launched a drone and missile attack in Sumy Oblast, northern Ukraine, killing three people and injuring five near the regional capital.
- This attack occurred amid Moscow's intensified summer offensive, begun in May, aiming to seize territory along Ukraine's 1,000 km eastern front, including border areas like Sumy.
- Ukrainian forces, under Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi, successfully disrupted the Russian offensive in Sumy, regaining territory and maintaining control despite ongoing strikes and losses.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russian forces in the Sumy region have been effectively neutralized and can no longer launch offensive operations, praising Ukrainian troops for dealing significant damage to the enemy.
- This thwarted advance suggests Ukraine’s defenses remain effective in key border regions while fighting continues on other fronts, including Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts.
