One of the bombs struck a private home where a family with three children lived: two sisters, aged 5 and 10, were killed. At another location, a 76-year-old woman was killed and four other women were injured. The girls\u2019 parents and their eldest sister survived.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Russia dropped six guided aerial bombs on Sumy.<\/li>\n<li>Ukrainian defence forces shot down two more aerial bombs.<\/li>\n<li>The CAB demolished the home of a family with three children.<\/li>\n<li>A five-year-old girl died on the way to hospital.<\/li>\n<li>Around ten residential buildings have been damaged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The body of a 10-year-old girl was found under the rubble<\/h2>\n<p>A Russian aerial bomb struck a private home where a couple and their three children were living. The house was completely destroyed. Among the rubble, rescue workers and eyewitnesses found children\u2019s belongings.<\/p>\n<p>A five-year-old girl was pulled out alive, but she died on the way to hospital. Rescuers recovered the body of her 10-year-old sister from under the rubble. The eldest daughter was not at home at the time of the attack; her parents survived.<\/p>\n<h2>Damaged homes and support for residents<\/h2>\n<p>Based on available information, <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/viyna\/udar-kabamy-po-sumah-zahynuly-dity\/\">Six guided aerial bombs were dropped on the city<\/a>, whilst two more were shot down by Ukrainian defence forces. The strikes damaged around ten residential buildings, mostly two-storey properties.<\/p>\n<p>Rescue workers, local authorities and volunteers were on the ground. They are helping residents to board up broken windows, distributing building materials and organising emergency aid. The work continued despite the threat of further strikes.<\/p>\n<h2>Sumy steps up warnings about the threat of aerial bombs<\/h2>\n<p>The attack came after a series of KAB strikes on Sumy in July and early August. In particular, on 2 August, Russian forces dropped six aerial bombs on the Sumy community, damaging infrastructure, vehicles and residential buildings.<\/p>\n<p>An additional warning system has been introduced in the city: a signal is broadcast over the loudspeakers saying, \u00abAttention! Drones are heading for the city. Everyone take cover!\u00bb As Oleg Grigorov, head of the Sumy Regional State Administration, explained, this does not replace the air-raid siren or notifications from the Air Force, but is intended to give people extra time to react.<\/p>\n<p>The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reported that in May, at least 57 civilians were killed and a further 179 were injured as a result of aerial bombardments near the front line. Repeated strikes on Sumy highlight the ongoing danger to people in built-up areas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three people, including two girls, were killed as a result of the KAB strikes on Sumy.
