Russian forces launched a drone strike on Ukraine's northeastern Sumy Oblast on July 21, injuring 13 people, including a 5-year-old boy, local officials said.

"This evening, the enemy attacked civilian infrastructure in the Putvyl community with drones," Governor Oleh Hryhorov wrote on Telegram.

Hryhorov initially reported at approximately 10:00 p.m. local time that four people, including the child, were injured and received medical assistance without hospitalization.

A fire broke out at the scene, and emergency crews are continuing efforts to contain the damage, he added.

Later updates increased the number of injured to 13.
