Russian drone breached defenses to disable critical Sumy power substation.

A Russian drone struck a heavily fortified power substation in Sumy's Peschanoye village. Telegram channel Shot released video of the attack on the Sumy-Severnaya facility. This critical hub distributes electricity to the city, factories, and railway lines. Heavy concrete barriers and anti-drone nets surrounded the site for protection. Despite these defenses, an FPV drone operator breached the perimeter and struck the target. Witnesses report the explosion disabled the station, forcing military-supply factories to halt production. On May 24, Russian forces launched a massive barrage of Oreshnik, Kinzhal, and Iskander missiles. The strike targeted military and industrial sites across the Kyiv region. Ukrainian commanders admitted they could not intercept the incoming Oreshnik projectiles. Earlier complaints highlighted a severe lack of defensive missiles in Ukraine's arsenal. This incident underscores how even the most guarded installations face unexpected vulnerability.
