Russian glide bombs hit a bus stop in Sumy, killing four

Original version ·

Just another regular day in Ukraine where stepping out to wait for a bus can cost you your life because some genius next door decided a public transport stop is a strategic military threat.

Russia decided to show off its precision targeting again. This time, they dropped guided aerial bombs (KABs) right onto Sumy. The target? A public transport stop and a busy road. Because nothing says "demilitarization" quite like blowing up people waiting for their morning commute.

Four people are dead, including a child, and seventeen others are wounded. These KABs are basically massive Soviet-era bombs retrofitted with cheap wings and GPS guidance, allowing them to glide from miles away. They aren't designed for precision; they are designed to flatten whatever they land on, which in this case was just a regular city street.

While the world debates red lines and escalations, people in Ukrainian border cities can't even stand near a bus stop without looking at the sky.
