Russia targets Ukrainian ports and Sumy infrastructure in aerial strikes

Russian aerial attacks targeted Ukrainian port areas in Mykolaiv and a commercial center in Sumy, resulting in multiple casualties and infrastructure damage.

In Mykolaiv, strikes hit civilian and industrial infrastructure, leaving four people dead and 19 injured, according to Governor Heorhiy Reshetilov. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated its forces struck facilities used for military purposes at the Khornomorsk port, two vessels near Odesa, and a drone warehouse in Mykolaiv.

In northern Ukraine, a drone strike on a commercial center in Sumy killed two people and injured 20 others, including four teenagers in serious condition, according to Governor Oleh Khokhhorov. Across the Sumy province, police reported a total of five deaths and 24 injuries. The region remains a frequent target as Russia seeks to establish a security zone along the border.
