        The strikes damaged a residential building and five vehicles.

        Less than an hour later, another Russian drone struck a civilian vehicle. The car caught fire, and rescuers extinguished the blaze.

        During the same period, Sumy also came under airstrikes. One of the city’s educational institutions was damaged.
