This target was used by the enemy to plan and conduct combat operations against Defence Forces units in the Sumy region.

"Its elimination significantly reduces the ability of the Russian 3rd motor rifle division units to act effectively on the battlefield," the military noted.

The General Staff assures that the pilots of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue to target enemy military infrastructure elements until the cessation of its armed aggression.
