A Russian drone struck a multi-story apartment building in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy early Thursday, killing four people and injuring nine, including a child, the regional authorities said.
Governor Volodymyr Artyukh, shown in a video on Telegram in front of a crane and piles of rubble, said emergency services were pulling residents out from parts of the building.
The attack ruined five apartments and damaged over 20 cars, authorities said. Work on site continued into Thursday morning, with emergency services sharing pictures of rescuers sifting through the rubble, Reuters reported.
Russian drones routinely attack the area, which borders Russia's Kursk region, where Ukraine launched an incursion in August 2024.
Russia denies deliberately targeting civilians but thousands have been killed and injured after Moscow's troops launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
