Russian aggressors have launched an attack on a village in the Sumy region, situated on the border between Ukraine and Russia, on the morning of February 20. The shelling resulted in four casualties, according to the Pivnich Telegram channel.

The Russians attacked the village of Brusky presumably using 120mm mortars. A total of five impacts were recorded.

As a result of the shelling, four civilians sustained injuries and were transported to the hospital.

Shelling of the Sumy region

Russian occupiers continuously shell the Sumy region, particularly border communities adjacent to Russia.

Local authorities have reported mass evacuations of residents within a five-kilometer zone in border communities of the Sumy region. However, the Sumy Regional State Administration later said that there was no talk of forced evacuations.

Additionally, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups have been terrorizing border areas of the Sumy region.

This morning, Russians attacked the village in the Konotop district, resulting in a fire in one of the buildings. Later, rescuers discovered the bodies of two individuals under the rubble.
