Russian forces have carried out mortar and artillery strikes across Sumy region, reaching nearly 260 explosions over the past day
This large-scale military activity is a vivid confirmation of the ongoing nervousness and aggression of the occupation army in a region that remains under heavy shelling. According to the regional military administration (RMA), only in the past 24 hours, 257 explosions were recorded across various communities, including Verkhnosirovatka, Yunakivka, Myropillia, Bilopillia, Krasnopillia, Velyka Pysarivka, Novoslobidka, Shalyhyne, Esman, and Pugiv. The enemy employed a wide range of weapons, including mortars, artillery, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), drones, and guided aviation bombs. The Krasnopillia and Bilopillia communities were especially active. In these areas, the occupiers launched massive mortar and artillery shelling, used attack drones FPV, and deployed guided aviation bombs. In Krasnopillia alone, there were 146 explosions from mortars, artillery, MLRS, as well as aircraft munitions and attack drones. As a result of these attacks, private houses and infrastructure objects, including a rural club, were damaged. In the Bilopillia community, the enemy dropped explosives from UAVs, resulting in six recorded explosions. Similarly, in the Pugiv community, the enemy used artillery, causing three explosions. The Yunakivka community was also targeted: there, artillery shelling and FPV drone strikes resulted in a total of 35 explosions. In Verkhnosirovatka, one drone dropped an explosive device, damaging a private house. The Novoslobidka community suffered from mortar and artillery shelling, as well as drone attacks — 15 explosions caused damage to a village club and other civil infrastructure objects. Another area of tension is Shalyhyne, where the enemy employed artillery, mortars, and attack drones, resulting in 21 explosions. Three private houses of residents were also damaged there. A significant attack was launched on the Myropillia community — mortars and guided aerial bombs (KABs) were used, totaling 9 explosions. The Novoslobidka community and its infrastructure were affected by FPV drone strikes and artillery, which caused 12 explosions and damage to private houses. In Esman, three explosions occurred after FPV drone attacks. Overall, the situation remains tense: shelling continues daily, and Ukrainian defenders are doing everything possible to prevent extensive destruction and save civilian lives. Operational reports indicate a high level of enemy activity, with each day bringing new challenges for locals and military personnel alike. Unfortunately, the consequences of these attacks are already evident — damaged residential buildings, destroyed infrastructure, and rising tension among the population, who are fighting the war's aftermath and hope for the swift liberation of their territories from the occupiers.
