As a result of strikes by Russian attack drones, civilian infrastructure in the Sumy community was damaged, according to Oleh Hryhorov, head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration.
According to him, the strike was carried out by four drones targeting civilian infrastructure.
"As a result of the hits, a fire broke out - a non-residential building is burning. The threat of repeated attacks complicates the elimination of the aftermath," Hryhorov noted.
The regional governor added that, preliminarily, there are no casualties from the strike. Information on possible injuries and the scale of the damage is being clarified.
Hryhorov also released photos from the site of the impact.
