Russian forces launched multiple attacks against Ukraine's northeastern Sumy Oblast on Oct. 14, attacking five communities and causing 92 explosions, regional military administration reported.

The attacks targeted the communities of Yunakivka, Kransopillia, Bilopillia, Shalyhyne, and Nova Sloboda, according to the post.

The Russian military deployed a range of weapons, including grenade launchers, mortars,  artillery, and drones, throughout the day's attacks.
