Summary

  • Five guided aerial bombs struck Ukraine’s northern city of Sumy overnight, injuring at least five people and damaging residential areas, regional governor Oleh Hryhorov said.
  • The attack adds to pressure on Ukrainian civilians as officials warn Russia is likely to intensify strikes ahead of winter and Kyiv seeks stronger air-defence support from allies.
  • WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said a Russian strike also destroyed a humanitarian warehouse in Dnipro, where about 170 pallets of medical supplies remained after an evacuation attempt.
  • Volodymyr Zelensky separately said North Korea could deploy 30,000 to 50,000 troops to Russia, arguing Moscow and Pyongyang are deepening military cooperation as the war enters a harsher phase.
