Russian Glide Bomb Hits Apartment in Ukraine’s Sumy, Two Dead, Seven Injured
Emergency crews rescued four people as officials said three of the seven injured were in serious condition after the strike.
On Friday, a Russian glide bomb struck an apartment building in Sumy, killing two people and injuring seven, including a 13-year-old girl, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
Sumy, located near the Russian border, has become a frequent target for aerial attacks as Moscow seeks to establish a buffer zone in the region.
Emergency crews rescued four people after a direct hit between the third and fourth floors, while Russian forces also struck a clinic in Pavlohrad and a logistics centre outside Kyiv.
Following the attack, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope that the late Senator Lindsey Graham's "sanction bill from hell" will become law; the legislation passed 262 to 159 and awaits President Donald Trump's signature.
The Graham Sanctioning Russia Act aims to pressure Moscow to end the war by allowing Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries purchasing Russian energy, uranium, and other commodities.
