A guided aerial bomb struck Ukraine’s Sumy region, injuring a trolleybus driver and other civilians, according to regional governor Oleh Hryhorov.

Two women also sought medical assistance following the attack, Hryhorov said on Telegram.

The attack occurred on the evening of June 22, when Russian forces launched strikes at three separate locations across the Sumy region. One of the attacks hit a trolleybus, which caught fire.

A 57-year-old man, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle at the time, sustained serious injuries in the blast. Medical personnel are fighting for his life.

The fire completely destroyed the trolleybus. Authorities are continuing to assess the consequences of the attack.
