Russian forces are striking the energy infrastructure in the Sumy region, intensifying attacks at a time of extreme heat, when power supply is crucial for hospitals and social institutions. The head of the Sumy regional military administration, Oleg Grigoryev, emphasized that this is once again putting pressure on the civilian population of the region.
Attacks on the energy system have led to blackouts in parts of the district, but energy workers are making efforts to restore the situation as quickly as possible. For safety reasons, details about the attacks are not disclosed to avoid complicating the situation and giving the enemy an opportunity to prepare new strikes.
