Close to 8:00 am on Saturday, May 21, the russian troops fired at Sumy region from the territory of the russian federation. Fortunately, there were no losses, - announced by the Head of the Regional Military Administration [RMA] Dmytro Zhyvytskyi.
"Our morning did not start with coffee again: at almost 8 am the russian military opened artillery fire from its territory. Hits in the Esman community of Shostka district. There are no losses," he wrote in Telegram.
The head of the RMA said that last night at the border was more or less quiet, except that there were single and automatic shots from small arms in russia territory, but close to the border. It took place in the Shalygin community of the Shostka district.
"I hope the orcs [russians] shot each other there," Zhyvytskyi added.
The border areas of Sumy region are regularly shelled from russia.
The day before, The Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council reported that russia was preparing provocations in the Sumy region using "wandering mortars." Hostile propaganda is again trying to shift responsibility for the shelling of civilian infrastructure to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
