Russian forces shelled six communities in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy Oblast on Aug. 17, firing over 130 rounds from various types of weapons, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported on Telegram.
According to the post, Russia shelled the Krasnopillia, Bilopillia, Seredyna-Buda, Velyka Pysarivka, Svesy, and Nova Sloboda communities.
Russian forces used mortars and artillery to target the Krasnopillia community, damaging a private residence, a garage, a warehouse, two shops, a car and a gas line. The Bilopillia community was attacked with mortar and anti-tank guns. One household and a power line were damaged in the attack.
