Quote from Sumy Oblast Military Administration: "The Russians have carried out a large-scale overnight attack on a village on the territory of the Sumy hromada. The enemy launched about 10 attack UAVs on civilian infrastructure. A fire broke out at the site of the hits, and the State Emergency Service has been working there since nightfall." [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town along with their adjacent territories – ed.]
