Two successive Russian attacks on a medical center in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Saturday killed at least nine people, officials said.

The first strike killed one person. Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said Russia attacked again while evacuating patients and staff.

Local officials in Sumy said Shahed drones were used in the attack. Acting mayor of Sumy, Artem Kobzar, said another 21 people were injured.

Sumy is located about 32 kilometers from Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces have made a surprise incursion since August 6 in an attempt to shift the Kremlin’s military focus away from Ukraine’s front line.
