KYIV – A Russian guided bomb attack in Ukraine’s north-eastern Sumy region bordering Russia’s region of Kursk killed two people, prosecutors said on Aug 22.
Moscow troops dropped two guided bombs on civilian infrastructure, according to the regional prosecutors’ statement on Telegram.
One person was injured in the attack, it added.
Russia has been pummelling Ukrainian border regions with strikes, and Kyiv said its shock incursion into the Kursk region was aimed at cutting off Moscow’s ability to stage such attacks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Aug 22 he had visited the Sumy region and added that there had been a decrease in shelling and in civilian casualties since the Kursk operation. REUTERS
