Ukraine Says Russian Strikes Kill Three

Russian drone and bomb attacks killed three and injured two in multiple Sumy Oblast communities, with ongoing strikes overwhelming Ukrainian air defenses, officials said.

  • On Oct. 8, Governor Oleh Hryhorov reported massive drone and guided-bomb strikes across Sumy Oblast, killing three people and injuring two, targeting six communities.
  • As Ukraine heads into autumn, Russia has intensified assaults on energy infrastructure, including a large-scale Oct. 3 attack, while border villages in Sumy Oblast face daily UAV and bomb strikes, Oleg Grygorov said.
  • Ukrainian air-defence units have been overwhelmed by drones and failed to intercept all UAVs; explosions in Sumy, regional capital, prompted Acting Mayor Artem Kobzar to urge residents to shelter.
  • Mandatory evacuations now cover hundreds of communities as strikes damaged civilian infrastructure, Governor Hryhorov said.
  • Russia's full-scale offensive since February 2022 has left large areas contested and damaged, and officials said momentum toward a peace deal waned after President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump's summit.
