Russian forces struck the city of Sumy and its outskirts with guided aerial bombs on the evening of September 18, damaging a residential building. Ukrainian officials said people may be trapped under the rubble as rescue operations continue. The strike adds to a string of recent Russian attacks on Sumy Oblast, including a large-scale drone assault on Konotop earlier in the week that damaged schools, hospitals and infrastructure, reflecting sustained pressure on the region near the Russian border.
