Russian drone strike kills two in Sumy as Kyiv manages political fallout

A Russian drone strike killed two people in Sumy as Kyiv deals with political fallout from President Volodymyr Zelensky's defense ministry reshuffle.
A Russian drone strike on a post office in the northern Ukrainian city of Sumy killed two men and injured two others on Saturday night, local officials reported. According to Serhiy Kryvosheyenko, head of the Sumy military administration, the attack was carried out by a jet-powered drone.
Meanwhile, political friction persists in Kyiv following President Volodymyr Zelensky's decision not to reappoint Mykhailo Fedorov as defense minister during a recent cabinet reshuffle. Although an acting defense minister and a new commander-in-chief have taken office, the political fallout from the leadership changes continues to reverberate through the government as Ukraine copes with ongoing Russian attacks.
