KYIV, Ukraine, April 26, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A Russian drone attack killed two civilians in the northeastern Ukraine border region of Sumy, local military officials said Sunday.
"The enemy struck civilians in the territory of Bilopillia community -- near one of the settlements, less than 5 km from the state border with the Russian Federation," said Oleg Grygorov, head of Sumy's regional military administration.
He said a "48-year-old and a 72-year-old man" were killed.
Moscow has fired hundreds of drones on its neighbour almost nightly since the beginning of the war, with Kyiv regularly carrying out strikes on Russian energy and military targets in response.
Earlier Sunday, the Moscow-installed governor of Sevastopol in Russian-annexed Crimea said a man was killed inside a vehicle during a Ukrainian drone attack that damaged several homes and a dance school in different neighbourhoods of the port city.
The governor said Russia shot down 43 drones in the attack.
On Saturday, Ukrainian authorities said at least eight people were killed in the city of Dnipro, in central?eastern Ukraine, which was hit by waves of Russian strikes for 20 hours straight.
