At the same time, communities in Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Sumy Oblasts came under enemy artillery and mortar fire in the settlements of Sopych, Velyka Pysarivka, Luhivka, Uhroidy, Brusky, Tymofiivka, Iskryskivshchyna and Bilopillia.

In addition to this, the Russians dropped guided aerial bombs on areas of Malushyne, Richky, Yastrubyne, Sosnivky, Kindrativka, Pavlivka, Nova Sloboda and the city of Sumy."
