A 45-year-old man died while working in a field in the Krasnopillia community of the Sumy region, according to Oleg Hryhorov, the head of the regional military administration.
The incident occurred when the man encountered an enemy drone, resulting in injuries that proved fatal, Hryhorov reported.
Russian military forces have been conducting regular attacks on Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure using various types of weaponry, including strike drones, missiles, and multiple rocket launchers.
Ukrainian authorities and international organizations have classified these attacks as war crimes, asserting that they are deliberate in nature. The targeting of essential services and healthcare facilities aims to deprive civilians of electricity, heating, water supply, communication, and medical assistance, which some officials describe as indicative of genocidal actions.
In response, Russian leadership has denied that its military forces deliberately target civilian infrastructure during the ongoing conflict, asserting that they do not aim to harm the civilian population or destroy hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and energy and water supply facilities.
