In the Sumy region, two people were killed and nine others injured as a result of Russian drone attacks, reported the National Police of Ukraine.
Russian forces continue to terrorize the border areas of the Sumy region, using drones to hunt people. Law enforcement officers are currently documenting the consequences of the attacks and recording war crimes.
Over the past 24 hours, residential areas, transport, and critical infrastructure facilities in several communities across the region came under attack. Russians deliberately targeted vehicles, leading to tragic consequences:
In the Sadivska community, a drone hit a truck loaded with grain. A 40-year-old driver was killed on the spot as a result of the explosion.

Mass injuries
The highest number of injuries was recorded in the Sumy community, where six people were wounded (men aged 39, 43, and 51, and women aged 30 and 56). Separately, a 67-year-old pensioner was injured after explosives were dropped on him from a drone.
In the Shostka community, a 46-year-old man and a woman were injured.
Richkivska community: a 61-year-old man was injured as a result of a drone explosion.
Law enforcement officers, rescuers, and explosive experts have been working at the strike sites since early morning. Police in the Sumy region are already documenting these facts as further war crimes committed by Russia.
On March 14, a drone from Russia attacked a passenger train in the Sumy region. Fortunately, the monitoring team of Ukrzaliznytsia (the state railway company of Ukraine) acted promptly, so people were evacuated in time, and the locomotive crew was detached from the damaged locomotive.
In the Sumy region, drones often fly at low altitudes, making them especially dangerous for those in open areas.
