Situation in the Sumy region
Since the de-occupation of the Sumy region in the spring of 2022, occupiers have been regularly shelling the region with aviation, artillery, and mortars.
In particular, recently, another teenager in the Sumy region was killed when he found an explosive device in his own backyard.
Also, Russian forces shelled a school in the Sumy region, resulting in the death of a child.
