Seven people, including a child, were killed in a Russian drone attack on Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday.

“Each new Russian strike only confirms (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s true intentions. He wants the war to continue, he is not interested in talking about peace,” Zelenskyy said.

The overnight drone attack on a residential building in the small town of Hlukhiv on the border with Russia left 12 people injured, including two children, the military administration of the Sumy region said on the Telegram messaging app.

A video shared by Zelenskyy showed emergency workers sifting through the rubble of the partially destroyed building as search and rescue operations continued into the morning.

The regional military administration said Russian forces used two drones in the attack.

Ukraine’s air force said it shot down 51 drones and lost track of another 30 after Russia launched 87 drones overnight.

Russian forces have pounded the northeastern Sumy region in recent months, destroying its critical and civilian infrastructure.

A rocket strike there on Sunday killed 11 people, injured 89 and knocked out power in the city of Sumy.
