On the morning of 28 September, Russian forces launched two Shahed drone attacks on a hospital in the Ukrainian city of Sumy, resulting in six deaths.
Russian military regularly targets Ukrainian regions with various weapons, including drones, missiles, and rocket launchers. These strikes deliberately hit civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian authorities and international organizations classify these as war crimes.
“The first strike killed one person and damaged several hospital floors. As evacuation began and emergency services arrived, the enemy struck again. Currently, six fatalities are confirmed, including one police officer, with another officer wounded,” reported Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko.
Klymenko noted Ukrainian police casualties for the second consecutive day. The previous day, a Russian ballistic missile hit the National Police headquarters in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk region, killing three officers with one missing.
“Search efforts continue at the Kryvyi Rih police building site. Another employee may be trapped under the rubble,” the minister added.
The Ukrainian Air Force also reported guided bomb attacks on the Sumy Oblast.
