By the morning of May 30, residents of Sumshchyna found themselves in a state of anxiety and despair due to the serious consequences of a nighttime attack by Russian drones
According to official information received from the Sumy Regional Administration, as a result of the enemy aggression that took place overnight on May 29, one man was killed, and another was severely injured and is currently hospitalized in critical condition. In addition to human losses, residential buildings, farm storage facilities, and civilian infrastructure in several communities of the region were damaged. Rescuers report that this night was tense for local residents, as Russian drones carried out strikes on several parts of the region. Specifically, in the Bilopillia community, a civilian was killed when debris hit residential houses, and another person sustained serious injuries requiring urgent medical assistance. The attack also damaged residential areas, causing further fear and destruction among the local population. In the Verkhnosirovatska community, shells destroyed several civilian objects, including infrastructure serving local residents. In Ritschka, Russian drones completely destroyed a private house, giving residents another reason to be alarmed. Additionally, the occupiers attacked the territory of a farm in Nedryhailivska community, resulting in fires at storage facilities with agricultural equipment and grain. According to the Regional Military Administration (OVA), these criminal actions by Russian forces once again confirm their targeted strategy to strike civilian populations and infrastructure. It is especially alarming that these attacks are happening at night, complicating emergency responses and increasing risks for civilians. Local authorities urge residents to exercise maximum caution, verify information with official sources, and adhere to safety rules during these challenging times. Residents of the region are once again coming together to cope with the consequences of the nighttime attack, helping each other restore damaged homes and maintain control of the situation under difficult wartime conditions. Hope remains for a swift end to the aggressive actions, but as long as Russia continues to employ its terror tactics, Ukrainians must stay alert and fight for their safety and peace in their homes.
