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.
