On the night of November 22, the occupiers targeted Sumy with strike drones of the "Shahed" type. Several powerful explosions were heard within the city. Later, reports emerged of "hits." There are casualties.

The consequences of the enemy attack were reported on Telegram by acting mayor of Sumy, Artem Kobzar. He noted that two hits were recorded in different areas of the city. Currently, all emergency services are responding to these incidents.

"Several powerful explosions were heard in the city of Sumy. One person has died at the site of one of the explosions. Emergency services and ambulances are working on-site," said Kobzar.
