(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The Sumy Regional Military Administration reported this on Telegram , according to Ukrinform.

"Over the past month, more than 200 enemy strike UAVs were downed in the Sumy region. Nearly half of them were destroyed thanks to the coordinated work of our territorial defense forces and volunteer formations. This is the result of our defenders' daily efforts," the statement read.

However, the enemy is not stopping - Russia continues systematic attacks on the Sumy region, aiming to destroy civilian infrastructure. UAVs remain one of the main threats, so air defense must be constantly strengthened, the post said.
