Russian drone strikes near kindergarten in Sumy community

Russian forces struck near a kindergarten in the Sumy community using a fiber-optic-controlled drone, according to Ukrinform.

The use of fiber-optic-controlled drones, which are more resistant to electronic jamming than traditional radio-controlled models, has become increasingly common in the war, allowing for more precise strikes closer to populated areas.

The Sumy region, located in northeastern Ukraine near the Russian border, has repeatedly come under attack throughout the war, with civilian infrastructure, including schools and kindergartens, periodically affected.

Details on any casualties or damage resulting from the strike near the kindergarten were not immediately available.
