According to the post, Russia shelled the Bilopillia, Nova Sloboda, Velyka Pysarivka, Esman, Znob-Novhorodske, Shalyhyne, Yunakivka, Khotin, and Myropillia communities.

Russian forces used mortars to target most of the communities, while the Yunakivka and Znob-Novhorodske communities were attacked artillery. The Bilopillia community in the central part of Sumy Oblast remains one of the most targeted, according to the military administration.
