Russian forces have been shelling border areas of Ukraine's Sumy region on a daily basis, according to Ukrinform, which reported that 155 people, including 21 children, were evacuated from dangerous areas of the region in September.
The Sumy region, which borders Russia, has faced sustained cross-border attacks throughout the war, prompting periodic evacuations of civilians from settlements closest to the frontier.
Ongoing evacuations from border communities
The evacuation of 155 residents over the course of the month reflects the continued danger faced by communities in the border strip, where daily shelling has made normal life increasingly difficult for those who remain.
Ukrainian regional authorities have regularly urged residents in the most exposed settlements to relocate to safer areas, a process that has become a recurring feature of the war for communities along the Russia-Ukraine border.
Further details on the specific settlements affected or the extent of damage caused by the daily shelling were not provided in the available reporting.
