Russian forces attacked eight communities along the Sumy Oblast border on May 27, causing 89 explosions throughout the day, the regional military administration reported.
The communities of Bilopillia, Krasnopillia, Yunakivka, Khotin, Shalyhyne, Seredyna-Buda, Esman, and Velyka Pysarivka came under fire.
Russian troops fired at the border 23 times, attacking the region with artillery, drones, mines, mortar, and small arms.
No casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure were reported.
Residents of the border communities in Sumy Oblast suffer daily shelling from nearby Russian forces. Ukrainian troops regularly fight off Russian sabotage groups conducting raids across the border.
Sumy Oblast was liberated from Russian occupation in April 2022.
Ukraine has built up its fortifications in Sumy Oblast in recent months and authorities have ordered evacuations from the region due to increasing attacks.
Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
