URCS joins restoration work in Sumy after Russia’s attack

Volunteers of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) have joined restoration efforts in damaged residential buildings in Sumy following an overnight drone attack on the city by Russia.

"Liquidation of the consequences of the emergency is ongoing. Since 8:30 (Tuesday – IF-U), building materials (OSB boards and waterproof tarpaulins) have been distributed to families whose housing was damaged," the URCS reported on Telegram.

Volunteers are visiting apartments, helping residents measure broken windows, and performing quick repairs. They also provide initial psychological aid to the population. Additionally, URCS volunteers inform local residents about potential threats related to explosive remnants at strike sites or locations where drones and their debris fell.

As reported, as a result of the overnight attack by Russian unmanned aerial vehicles on Sumy, 15 residents were injured, including three children and a majority of elderly people. Residential buildings were damaged, with windows blown out in many homes.
