The Sumy Oblast Military Administration said on May 30 that Russian forces shelled six communities in Sumy Oblast.

According to officials, Russian forces targeted the communities of Bilopillia, Velyka Pysarivka, Krasnopillia, Novoslobidske, Seredyna-Buda, and Shalyhyne.

Officials recorded 55 strikes with mortars, artillery, and grenade launchers in the settlements.

In the Seredyna-Buda community, six garages caught fire, and one five-story building,  two two-story buildings, three houses, and a power line were damaged as a result of Russia’s attacks.

Sumy Oblast is located at Ukraine’s northeastern border with Russia. It has been the target of daily Russian attacks across the border since parts of the oblast were liberated from Russian control in early April 2022.

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?
