Russian forces attacked Ukraine’s Sumy region with drones, killing an entire family, Governor Oleh Hryhorov said on Tuesday morning.
One of the drones struck a home in the border village of Chernechchyna in the Krasnopillia community, where a couple lived with their two sons, ages four and six. All four were killed, and their bodies were pulled from the rubble, Hryhorov said.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service reported that a two-story and a one-story residential building were hit, sparking fires.
The Ukrainian Air Force had earlier warned of overnight drone threats in the Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava and Sumy regions.
