The number of victims in Sumy as a result of a rocket attack on March 24 increased again. 108 people were injured, according to the first deputy mayor of Sumy, Artem Kuznetsov.

"At the moment, we already have 108 (victims - ed.), including 24 children. So the number (of injured - ed..) has increased," he said.

According to Kuznetsov, two of the wounded are in serious condition. The rest of the injured are in moderate and light condition. Most of the injured have shrapnel wounds from broken windows, and some have fractures.

The first deputy mayor of Sumy noted that utilities have not yet been fully restored after the missile attack, but specialists continue to work.

"Currently, half of the houses have electricity. Six houses are still without a gas supply, and about ten are without cold water. But everyone promises to restore everything shortly," Kuznetsov added.

Missile attack on Sumy

On March 24, the Russian army launched a missile attack on the center of Sumy. The enemy hit a school and a residential sector. Infrastructure facilities, including children's hospitals, were also damaged.

The Russians attacked Sumy in the afternoon, and at the time of the attack, students of the school that was at the epicenter of the attack were in hiding. Initially, 28 people were reported injured, but the number kept growing.

Commenting on the Russian terrorist attack, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said that firepower, sanctions, and pressure must back any diplomacy with Moscow.
