Situation in the Sumy region
After Ukrainian soldiers completely pushed Russian occupiers from the territory of the Sumy region last spring, the enemy shells the region from the territory of Russia almost every day. Border areas of the region are most often targeted.
On September 1, Russians carried out 22 shelling incidents in the border areas of the region. In particular, 147 explosions were recorded in the border territories and settlements of the Sumy region.
