Russian forces launched new attacks on Odesa and Sumy, two Ukrainian cities, causing fires, injuries, and property damage. In Odesa, a midday drone attack killed one man and injured three others, including a child; it damaged homes and cars near several garages. Later, another strike hit a 19-story apartment building, injuring more residents. Meanwhile, in Sumy, guided aerial bombs struck the Kovpakivskyi and Zarichnyi districts, destroying two homes and damaging ten other buildings along with an educational facility. The initial report said six people were injured, including a 14-year-old girl, but later updates revised the toll to one dead and nine injured, among whom were two children. Emergency crews worked tirelessly to extinguish fires and clear debris from damaged areas in both cities. These attacks are part of Russia's ongoing military campaign against Ukrainian urban centers, resulting in continued civilian casualties and infrastructure damage across Ukraine.
