KYIV, Ukraine, Oct 22, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Russian bombardments left three people dead overnight in the eastern Ukrainian region of Sumy where Moscow has stepped up aerial attacks in recent months, officials said Tuesday. Sumy lies across the border from Kursk in Russia, where Ukrainian troops launched a major offensive in August and have been holding swathes of territory. "Three people, including one child, died as a result of a nighttime attack by enemy drones on residential buildings," regional authorities said, referring to the city of Sumy. They said more than two dozen Iranian-designed attack drones were downed over the region. The Ukrainian operation in Kursk is part of a broader roadmap to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine recently outlined by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
