Sumy situational update for January 27

Attacks with drones on a settlement known as Old Village resulted in one house being destroyed, while also damaging the windows of neighbouring houses, reported local residents.

According to the Head of the Semenivsky District Administration, an attack that was carried out by a Geran-2 drone damaged three buildings and a garage in the village of Nekrasovo in the Hluikiv region, noting that the FPV drone was loaded with explosives, and the strike occurred at 9am yesterday.

Russia used a UAV to attack a roadway in the Kovpakovsky district of Sumy and the blast wave caused damage to several nearby homes, but the fire was quickly contained, reported Acting Mayor of the city Artem Kobzar.

Fragments of shattered glass from the windows of a man’s house pierced his leg yesterday in Sumy City when a drone attack damaged 10 homes, as the man noted he had only moved to Sumy from the border village of Shalygin three months ago for safety reasons,

Images released by the Vorozhba City Council showed that Russia were remotely mining territories of the Sumy region, dropping explosives from drones in small light bags which can detonate when pressed or approached, noting that such devices have been found recently in the Vorozhba community.

This morning’s operational update noted that two men aged 30 and 36 were injured as a result of a drone strike in the Putivl community, while a 22-year-old man who was  injured on January 23rd had also sought help.

Damage was caused to a civil infrastructure object, a private house and a car in the Sumy community, a car in the Putivl community, as well as a church, a multi-family house, a non-residential building and a car in the Hlukhiv community, while a house was destroyed in the Seredyno-Budska community.

Reports continued, suggesting that damage was caused to an educational institution in the Vorozhbyanska community, a private house in the Trostianets community and the Bilopilska community, an outbuilding in the Krasnopilska community.

Damage of a private house, non-residential premises and a civil infrastructure object in the Znob-Novgorodska community were also reported, along with a household in the Khutir-Mikhalovska community.

An attack with a drone on the village of Mironovka was reported this morning, noting that there were no casualties, but one private house was destroyed and outbuildings were damaged, as public TV correspondents from Suspilne attended the scene.
