On September 29, Russian terrorists carried out a series of strikes with guided aerial bombs on civilian infrastructure in the city of Sumy and the Sadivska community.
As a result of the enemy attack, two people were killed and another nine civilians sustained injuries, including three children.
In Sumy, Russian bombs struck private residential homes in different parts of the city. During search and rescue operations, specialists from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine recovered the bodies of a 70-year-old woman and a 74-year-old man from beneath the rubble of destroyed homes.
One of the strikes hit the grounds of a school, where around 70 students and staff members were sheltering during an air raid alert. Classrooms, the assembly hall, cafeteria, roof, and facade sustained significant damage, and around 200 windows were blown out. Nearby buildings and nine apartment buildings were also damaged.
Another aerial bomb exploded on the grounds of the Central City Cemetery, damaging graves and a church, and blowing out windows of a trolleybus that was passing nearby. At other locations across the city, at least 18 private homes, three apartment buildings, and vehicles were damaged.
In the Sadivska community, the Russian strike injured three local residents and damaged 15 private homes.
The use of guided aerial bombs against this regional center near the border has become a systematic campaign of Russian terror. Since the beginning of 2026, Russian forces have carried out more than 150 strikes with guided aerial bombs (KABs) on Sumy. The attacks intensified sharply in the summer, when more than 120 impacts were recorded over three months. Russian bombardments regularly target residential areas, educational and medical facilities, and public transport in the city.
