Russian forces shelled 11 communities in Sumy Oblast on Nov. 22, firing 17 times over the course of the day, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported. At least 54 explosions were recorded.

Russia's military targeted the communities of Krasnopillia, Yunakivka, Bilopillia, Velyka Pysarivka, Nova Sloboda, Putyvl, Esman, Shalyhyne, Znob-Novhorodske, Hlukhiv, and Seredyna-Buda.

No casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure were reported.

The Russian military targeted the settlements with an onslaught of shelling and mortar attacks, while continuing to drop mines on the surrounding areas.
