Three civilians were injured by Russian shelling on Aug. 28 in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy Oblast.
Over the course of the day, Russian forces shelled the region 23 times, resulting in 156 recorded explosions. The communities Velyka Pysarivka, Putyvl, Esman, Yunakivka, Bilopillia, Krasnopillia, Khotin, Znob-Novgorodske, and Seredyna-Buda were shelled, according to the Sumy Regional Military Administration.
The three civilians were injured in the community of Seredyna-Buda, located along the Russian border, after a series of mortars damaged a city library, an administrative building, and a private residential building.
This follows the shelling of eight communities in the Sumy region yesterday that resulted in 171 explosions.
Russian forces withdrew from Sumy Oblast in April of last year, though the shelling continues almost daily.

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?
