Ukrainian Armed Forces: Russian Drones Obstruct Rescuers in Sudzha

The Russian army is conducting drone strikes on Sudzha, hindering the clearing of debris at the site of the boarding school attack, according to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Military sources indicate that the ongoing attacks are preventing the delivery of equipment and the rescue of the wounded, reports NewsBox.

Ukrainian military forces reported that the Russian army continues to target Sudzha using FPV drones, disrupting rescue operations following the attack on the boarding school building. As reported to the "RBC-Ukraine" by a representative of the commandant's office of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the occupied territory of the Kursk region, Aleksey Dmitrashkovsky, the intensive strikes are obstructing the delivery of equipment and the clearing of debris.

According to him, a severely injured woman remains trapped under the rubble and, as of 14:00, was still showing signs of life, but her fate is currently unknown as rescuers are unable to reach her.

Dmitrashkovsky clarified that on February 1, the boarding school was hit by a guided missile (previously reported as a corrected aerial bomb). An hour after debris clearing began, Russian aviation launched another missile, which fell nearby. However, by that time, the remaining survivors had already been evacuated from the building.

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the strike on the boarding school was carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, launching missiles from the Sumy region.
