Russia shelled eight communities along Ukraine's border Sumy Oblast on Oct. 5, firing 22 times throughout the day, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported on Telegram. At least 131 explosions were recorded.
The communities of Bilopillia, Krasnopillia, Khotin, Seredyna-Buda, Velyka Pysarivka, Esman, Znob-Novhorodske and Yunakivka came under fire.
The Russian forces targeted the Krasnopillia community with mortars, artillery and unguided rockets, while the Seredyna-Buda community was attacked with Grad multiple rocket launcher, killing a civilian.
There was no information on damage to civilian or military infrastructure at the time of the publication.
Shelling is daily occurrence for the communities near Ukraine's northeastern border with Russia. Residents in the region's vulnerable border settlements experience multiple attacks per day.

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?
