Russian drone strikes kill nine at hospital in Sumy, Ukraine

Russian drone strikes hit a hospital in Sumy, Ukraine, on September 28, killing nine people and injuring ten. At the time of the attacks, 86 patients and 38 staff members were present in the facility. This incident marks an increase in attacks on Sumy city and the surrounding region, which have intensified since Ukrainian forces began operations in Russia's Kursk region in August. Sumy is located about 20 miles from the Russian border and has faced ongoing drone and bomb attacks since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
