Overview
- Russian drones struck the city of Konotop in Ukraine’s Sumy region overnight, injuring eight people and setting fires in homes and a regional history museum, officials said.
- The regional prosecutor’s office said the assault lasted for hours and likely used about 12 unmanned aerial vehicles, with explosions at several sites.
- By morning, authorities recorded damage to two houses, three apartment blocks, five administrative buildings and several vehicles.
- The State Emergency Service said slabs from the first to the third floor collapsed in one multi-story apartment building, and crews rescued three people while working at five locations.
- Rescuers briefly halted their work because of the risk of repeat strikes, then put out all fires as officials documented the scene and reported temporary gas outages for some residents.
