Russian military forces carried out a missile strike on Sumy Region: casualties and destruction
On the evening of May 24, a tragic event occurred in Sumy Region — an enemy aircraft confrontation that resulted in the death of one peaceful woman and injured another resident of the region. According to Oleksandr Hryhorovych, head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, the tense situation took place in the village of Velyka Pysarivka, which is part of Okhtyrka District. Preliminary information indicates that Russian troops used guided aerial bombs as part of their regular aggression against Ukrainian territory. An official report about the incident confirms that the enemy cynically launched a missile strike on residential areas of the settlement, causing human casualties and material destruction. Data received from local authorities indicate that a 51-year-old woman was killed — her life was cut short at the scene. Another resident of the same village, a 43-year-old man, was wounded and is receiving medical assistance. Unfortunately, the consequences of the attack were brutal not only for people: several residential buildings were damaged, and local services are already working at the site of the tragedy to eliminate the aftermath of the destruction and provide necessary aid to those affected. The circumstances of this tragedy evoke even greater outrage and concern throughout Ukrainian society. Military actions in the region continue to bring death and destruction, disturbing the peace and safety of peaceful residents. At the same time, it is important to note that this incident occurred just a few hours after the tragedy in Kherson Region. According to regional sources, early in the morning on May 24, another dramatic event took place in Kalynivske village in Kherson region — during the explosion of a weapon, an 8-year-old child died in a private house. Additionally, two other children and three adults nearby were injured. This underscores the brutality of war and the danger of daily shelling and explosions that threaten the lives and health of the most vulnerable residents of the region. The situation in the region remains tense and requires urgent action by Ukrainian forces and the international community to stabilize the area and prevent further tragedies. Local authorities urge residents to be cautious, implement all necessary safety measures, and believe in the swift restoration of peace and security in the region. Incidents such as these serve as a stark reminder of the need to strengthen defense and diplomatic efforts to end aggression and human suffering.
