According to the regional military administration, the Ukrainian region of Sumy in the north-eastern part of the country near the border with Russia has once more become the target of Russian shell fire. Eleven explosions were registered during the course of the day on Sunday, the military administration announced on Telegram in the evening. So far, however, neither casualties nor damage to civilian infrastructure have been reported. The information might not be independently verified.
Due to constant Russian fire, the Ukrainian army had ordered the population of the border districts in the north-eastern Sumy region to flee at the end of June.
Ukraine has been repelling a Russian invasion for more than 16 months. At the beginning of the war, the Sumy region was largely under Russian control for several weeks. In May, Ukrainian-backed gunmen from Sumy Oblast entered Russia’s neighboring Belgorod Oblast and engaged Russian security forces in fighting. After a short time, however, they withdrew back to Ukrainian territory.
