Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces have launched a series of attacks across several regions in Ukraine, resulting in injuries to civilians and significant damage to infrastructure and homes.
Sumy Region
The Sumy Regional Military Administration (RMA) reported on Telegram that between the morning of July 14 and the morning of July 15, Russian forces conducted 85 attacks on 34 settlements within 13 territorial communities across Sumy region. The heaviest bombardments were concentrated in the Sumy and Shostka districts.
The assault involved nearly 20 multiple rocket launcher (MLRS) strikes, approximately 10 VOG grenade drops from drones, and nearly 30 airstrikes using guided glide bombs (KABs). Additionally, various unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including FPV drones, were deployed alongside missile strikes.
As a result, 13 civilians were injured, including two 14-year-old children—one in the Sumy community due to a drone strike and another in Shostka from missile attacks. Infrastructure damage was widespread: a school building, a medical facility, a car, and several non-residential buildings were hit in Sumy; civilian infrastructure sustained damage in Hlukhiv; and apartment blocks, private homes, and a medical center were damaged in Shostka.
The region endured nearly 22 hours of air raid alerts on July 14, and 24 residents from border communities were evacuated for safety.
