Ukraine targets Russian military posts while guided bomb strikes kill civilians in Sumy

Ukrainian forces conducted targeted strikes against Russian military assets, while Russian attacks inflicted further civilian casualties in northeastern Ukraine. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, strikes hit a temporary deployment point of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) in occupied Kherson Oblast, as well as critical bridges in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and Russia's Kursk region.

Meanwhile, in Sumy Oblast, overnight Russian guided aerial bomb strikes killed three civilians, including two young girls aged five and ten. Local authorities in Kherson also reported drone attacks directed at civilians. Additionally, reports emerged that Ukrainian prisoners of war captured during operations in Kursk are facing terrorism charges in Russia. To address manpower deficits, Ukraine is increasingly deploying ground unmanned combat platforms along active frontlines.
