Russian forces shelled seven communities in Sumy Oblast on July 22, killing one person and injuring six others, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported via Telegram.
Artillery shelling in the border community of Krasnopillia killed one person and injured four others. Shelling also damaged residential buildings and a gas pipeline.
In Seredyna-Buda, a Russian kamikaze drone strike injured two people.
The administration did not disclose the ages or any other details of the victims' identities in their preliminary report.
The Russian military also struck the communities of Velyka Pysarivka, Bilopillia, Yunakivka, Khotyn, and Znob-Novhorodske. Shelling in Bilopillia damaged a power line.
In addition to drones and artillery shelling, Russian forces launched unguided missiles from helicopters over the region. The day's attacks caused 113 explosions along the Sumy border.
Russian forces have terrorized Sumy Oblast with daily attacks since spring 2022, when Ukrainian troops liberated parts of the region.

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?
