The situation in the Sumy region

After Ukrainian soldiers completely drove out Russian occupiers from the territory of the Sumy region last spring, the adversary shells the region from the territory of Russia almost daily. Most often, border areas of the region come under fire.

On September 2, Russian occupiers shelled the town of Seredyna-Buda in the Sumy region with mortars. Energy workers were injured as a result of the strikes.
