Reaction to previous attacks

Earlier that day, Russian drones attacked in various parts of Sumy. As a result of these shellings, two people were injured. Enemy drones hit a gas station, railway infrastructure facilities, and the area near educational institutions.

After the attacks, rescuers conducted an inspection of the area, identified several fire spots, extinguished them, and provided assistance to injured residents.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the motives of Russian attacks on Sumy, Chernihiv, and Poltava regions, emphasizing the strategic importance of these territories from both military and logistical perspectives.

The events of October 18 served as another reminder of the threat posed by drones, ensuring further escalation of the conflict.
