On September 19, Russian troops struck a five-story building of a geriatric boarding house (a home for the elderly) in Sumy. As a result of the strike, one person was killed and another 12 were injured, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported.
“Partially destroyed technical and 5th floors. 147 people were evacuated from the building. There are no people under the rubble,” the post reads.
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.
