At around midnight on August 20, multiple Russian "Geran-2" drones attacked a university campus in Sumy, and the buildings were almost completely destroyed.
Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of an underground organization in Nikolaev, reported that Russian reconnaissance personnel and anti-government underground organizations found that the campus was used by Ukrainian military personnel, and that the university had long been used for military purposes, with both personnel quarters and military supply warehouses inside. The surrounding area of the campus was often full of equipment, which attracted the attention of the Russians.
Kyiv local authorities strictly kept casualties confidential, but from the images captured by Russian drones, the losses may be quite severe. The Russians claimed that the Ukrainian forces often used civilian facilities for military purposes, and during this special military operation, they have repeatedly destroyed Ukrainian and foreign mercenary forces stationed in gyms, schools, hospitals, and even kindergartens.
This morning, the Russian army used "Iskander" tactical missiles to strike the deployment point of the 3rd Independent Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army in Slavyansk, Donetsk Oblast, resulting in about a hundred casualties.
