On the night of November 3, Russian forces attacked the Sumy region with kamikaze drones. The main strike hit the city of Trostianets, where one person was killed, according to the State Emergency Service (SES), the Sumy Regional Military Administration, and the Sumy Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
According to local authorities, the enemy targeted residential buildings while people were asleep. As a result of the explosion, a two-story building was destroyed and caught fire. During the debris removal, rescuers retrieved the body of a deceased man, a 52-year-old local resident. His house was almost completely destroyed.
