Sumy: on the evening of August 6, Russian troops carried out another shelling of the regional center. Hits were recorded at four locations in one of the city's microdistricts. Private households and non-residential buildings were damaged.
Rescuers, as indicated, extinguished fires and inspected the territories. According to preliminary information, no one was injured.
The night before, Serhiy Kryvosheienko, head of the Sumy City Military Administration, reported explosions heard in Sumy around 9 p.m., and indicated that it was an enemy attack on the Kovpakivskyi district of the city. Later, Kryvosheienko reported that civilian infrastructure facilities were damaged. At one of the hit sites, a gas pipeline was damaged, so gas supply to the adjacent sector was temporarily stopped (more than 40 subscribers were left without gas). Previously, according to his data, the enemy attacked using MLRS.
As of morning, due to yesterday's enemy attack, according to Kryvosheienko, 40 subscribers remained without power supply. All relevant services are working on restoration.
