Russian forces attacked border areas and settlements of Sumy Oblast on March 10, firing 32 times and causing at least 184 explosions, the local military administration reported via Telegram.

The communities of Yunakivka, Khotin, Bilopillia, Miropilia, Krasnopillia, Velyka Pysarivka, Esman, Seredyno-Buda, Nova Sloboda, and Shalyhyne came under attack.

A Russian missile strike on the city of Sumy on March 7 killed two people and injured 26 others, six of whom had to be hospitalized. It was the first missile attack against the regional capital since July.

Or it could be their usual negligent attitude toward their own people. In any case, we also identify these bodies," Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said.
