Late in the evening of September 16, the Russian military, using UAVs of the “Shakhed” type, struck the Sumy region – the city of Konotop and the regional center, the regional military administration reported.
The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.
The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes by the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
