Russian forces attacked the northeastern city of Sumy on May 14 with a missile strike, killing at least three people and injuring nine, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported.

The number of victims killed rose to three, Sumy Oblast Governor Oleh Hryhorov reported in a post to Facebook at 8:42 p.m.

The attack reportedly hit an industrial site. Two of the injured are in extremely serious condition, according to the administration.

The air raid was announced at around 2:30 p.m. local time, while the explosion sounded around 2:50 p.m

Sumy Oblast is a northeastern region that borders Russia's Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk oblasts.

Local residents often experience multiple attacks per day, with border areas suffering from artillery and glide bomb strikes, and the regional center of Sumy coming under missile and drone strikes.

Most recently, Russia has been deploying small assault groups to infiltrate the region in a bid to expand the front line.
