Two people were killed in a Russian drone strike in the Sumy region of northern Ukraine on Thursday morning, according to the regional public prosecutor’s office. The victims, identified as a man and a woman, were traveling along a dirt track in the village of Velyka Pysarivka, located just a few kilometers from the Russian border.

The attack occurred in an area frequently targeted due to its proximity to Russia. The Sumy region has been a focal point in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which has persisted for more than four years. Ukraine continues to receive support from Western countries as it defends its territory against Russian military actions.

No further details about the circumstances of the strike or potential additional casualties were immediately available. Local authorities continue to investigate the incident amid heightened tensions along the border.
