Quote from Hryhorov: "The Russian Federation's attack has left settlements in the Sumy district without power, including parts of the Bilopillia and Vorozhba hromadas. Repair crews will begin restoring power when the security situation allows. 

This evening, the enemy again struck the oblast's civilian infrastructure, using guided aerial bombs and attack drones. Fortunately, there were no casualties." [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town along with their adjacent territories – ed.]

Details: Suspilne Sumy reported explosions in Bilopillia and later in Sumy. The media outlet reported that two Russian attack drones had hit a power substation in Bilopillia, leaving part of the city without power. The city council advised residents of Bilopillia to stock up on water.
