A subsequent strike on a medical facility in the area wounded five more people.
Due to the oblast's proximity to the Russian border, Kharkiv and Sumy oblasts regularly come under Russian drone, missile, and artillery strikes that have become increasingly destructive in recent months.
Weeks ago, Ukrainian forces reportedly stabilized the situation in Sumy Oblast and pushed the Russian army further away from Sumy amid Russia's summer advance into the region, Ukraine's General Staff said on June 30.
