The situation in the Sumy region
After Ukrainian Forces completely drove Russian occupiers out of the Sumy region in the spring of last year, the enemy has been shelling the region practically every day from the territory of the Russian Federation. Border areas of the region are most frequently targeted.
As reported by the regional military administration, on September 1, the Russians carried out 22 shelling incidents along the region's border. Specifically, 147 explosions were recorded in the border areas and settlements of the Sumy region.
"The shelling affected the communities of Seredyna-Buda, Novoslobidska, Krasnopilska, Myropilska, Znob-Novhorodska, Khotynska, and Bilopilska," the RMA added.
