The community of Sumy is experiencing increased tension following reports of a probable new missile attack by Russian forces. According to information disseminated by Oleg Grygorov, head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, through his official social media accounts, the enemy intends to launch several powerful missile strikes on the city’s center very soon, approximately at 5:00 PM on Thursday. This announcement has become an alarming signal for residents, who should already be prepared for potential emergencies. According to the regional head, operational information received from relevant authorities indicates a planned attack on several key targets within the city. Specifically, strategic infrastructure points such as Privozkzalna Square, Shevchenko Avenue, buildings numbered 7 and 9, as well as an object at 2 Avenue, are under threat. Oleg Grygorov urged residents to exercise maximum caution and vigilance, especially those near the specified locations. Authorities emphasize the importance of immediately leaving potentially dangerous zones and taking shelter in the nearest safe places — shelters, cellars, or other protective facilities. Reminding citizens of the seriousness of the situation, the official called for prompt response to alarm signals. "Leave the area immediately and find shelter," Grygorov appealed to the public. He stressed that quick action can save lives and health. Experts highlight that the aggression from the Russian Federation remains a persistent threat to the peaceful life of Ukrainian cities, including Sumy. Therefore, residents must be especially vigilant during this unstable period, monitor official updates, and be prepared for emergency actions. Authorities are already implementing necessary measures to strengthen warning systems and prepare shelters, but the main thing is personal vigilance and rapid response from citizens. Medical, rescue, and other emergency services are already operating in heightened mode. They are preparing for any development scenario and urging residents to stay calm and exercise patience. The situation remains tense, so everyone must act responsibly and avoid panic. It is expected that within a few hours, sirens will sound again in the city, and people will seek shelter in basements or other safe places. All services emphasize the importance of following safety rules and exercising patience, as the primary goal now is to reduce potential casualties and prevent any emergencies related to the new wave of attacks.
