In Sumy, Russian forces attacked ambulances on hospital grounds

Overnight, Russian troops attacked the hospital grounds in Sumy, damaging two ambulances, a civilian car, and the entrance to the medical facility.

A Russian drone struck medical vehicles that were on the hospital grounds.

“The vehicles were clearly marked. The Russians knew exactly where they were targeting,” Grigorov emphasized.

No one was injured in the attack.

The head of the Sumy Regional State Administration called the strike yet another deliberate crime by Russia against medical workers and people who save lives.

The attack on the medical facility in Sumy occurred amid a massive nighttime Russian strike on Ukraine.

On the night of August 29, Russian forces launched two missiles and 267 drones of various types at Ukraine.

Air defense forces shot down or neutralized 233 enemy UAVs.

At the same time, Russian airstrikes were recorded hitting a number of locations. Some of the enemy targets did not reach their intended targets, and information regarding them is currently being verified.

This was reported by Oleg Grigorov, head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration.

In the Chernihiv region, three people were injured on August 28 as a result of Russian attacks. Two women suffered acoustic trauma after an FPV drone struck the car in which they were traveling. Another man was injured in an attack on a civilian facility.

Russian troops attacked Kherson with drones in the morning, killing one man and wounding two others. The Korabelny and Dniprovsky districts of the city were targeted.

On the night of August 29, Russian forces carried out a massive attack on Ukraine, using missiles and 267 attack drones. 

In the Odesa region, one person was killed and three others were injured as a result of the enemy strike. The attack also caused eight cargo trucks carrying food to catch fire.

On the afternoon of August 28, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with seven “Banderole” missiles and 96 strike drones. Most of the drones were jet-powered, and the enemy directed a significant portion of them toward Kyiv.

As a result of the August 28 attack, Ukrainian air defense forces neutralized most of the aerial targets launched by Russia; however, as of the evening update, some drones were still in Ukrainian airspace. The Ukrainian Air Force reported the attack.

Earlier, Russia launched a ballistic missile strike on a facility in Kryvyi Rih.

As a reminder, Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles.
