(Reuters) – Russian forces shelled 15 border areas of Ukraine’s Sumy region a total of 84 times on Friday, killing two people and wounding nine, the regional authority said.
The authority, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said two people had died near the town of Yampil.
Sumy region has long been the target of Russian shelling in the 2-1/2-year-old war. It lies opposite Russia’s southern Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces have launched an incursion since early in August.
