Russian fighter aircraft launched more than 10 guided bombs against targets in the northern Sumy region overnight, according to Ukrainian officials.
While Sumy often suffers cross-border artillery attacks, it rarely comes under such concentrated aerial bombardment.
Yurii Ihnat, a Ukrainian air force spokesman, said about 10 Su-35 aircraft — Russia’s newest fighter jet — attacking the Sumy region with guided bombs.
“This is a serious threat, as guided bombs can fly far, and the planes are not within the range of our air defense,” Ihnat said. “Thus, more than 10 of these guided bombs attacked targets in the Sumy region. The losses there are being clarified.”
Ihnat also confirmed that Iranian-made Shahed drones had been used in an attack on the southern city of Kryvyi Rih.
