Russia's attack injures at least 9 in Ukraine's Sumy, local authorities say

Russian overnight attacks damaged an enterprise in Sumy region, injuring at least 9 people, and hit an industrial facility in Poltava region, local authorities said on Friday.

An airstrike on the northeastern city of Sumy caused a fire, prompting regional authorities to ask residents to stay inside and close the windows.

A drone attack hit an industrial facility in Poltava without causing any casualties, regional governor Filip Pronin said.

The Ukrainian air force said it shot down 12 out of 18 Russia-launched drones overnight over five Ukrainian regions. Four more drones fell over the Ukrainian territory.

Russia also used an Iskander-M missile during the attack, the air force added.
