**Russian Drone Attack in Sumy Kills 6**
A Russian drone attacked a residential building in the city of Sumy, Ukraine on January 30. The attack killed six people and injured at least nine others.
The drone was one of 81 launched by Russia against Ukraine that night. Ukraine’s air defense shot down 37 of them, but the other 44 disappeared from radar before reaching their targets.
A Shahed-type attack drone hit a multistory building in Sumy just after midnight. Emergency workers searched the rubble and found two more bodies later that morning. The total death toll is now six.
Two couples were killed in the attack: a 74-year-old man and his 69-year-old wife, and a 65-year-old man and a 64-year-old woman. Some of the injured victims are in serious condition, including a seven-year-old child and an 18-year-old man.
The building was severely damaged, with significant damage to the sixth and seventh floors. The attack also destroyed 12 balconies.
Sumy is located just under 30 kilometers from the Russian border and has been under attack since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
