Russia has carried out a series of strikes on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy, injuring at least 11 people, including four children, according to Ukraine's Emergency Services.
The Emergency Services wrote on Telegram that Russia had hit a multistory residential building, private homes, and infrastructure facilities.
Ihor Kalchenko, the local governor, said on October 31 that Russian forces had launched 102 attacks on 43 settlements across 13 communities in the Sumy region over the past day, using guided bombs and drones. He added that air raid alerts lasted for over 19 hours.
"It was around half past eleven. We were already asleep," a Sumy resident and eyewitness told a reporter from
RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service when describing the nighttime attack. "I saw a flash in the window. I looked out and saw a fire."
"We live in Building #35, but Building #33 is on fire. The ninth-floor windows were engulfed in flames," she added. "We checked our apartment and found that the windows in the small bedroom were completely shattered."
Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukraine's state railway operator, reported that Russian troops had attacked railway infrastructure overnight in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
