Russian troops laid landmines remotely in Hrabovske, a border village in Sumy Oblast, to prevent Ukrainian counterattacks.

The Russians have entered the area and are deploying landmines remotely to prevent Ukrainian counterattacks. It seems to me that they'd planned to go further, to advance into Sumy Oblast, but it didn't work out. That's why they are creating such a small outpost in Hrabovske. However, it really is just right on the border.

I think this was an attempt by the Russians to 'probe' Sumy Oblast, to break through in the southern part as well. Russian troops began to actively push forward there about two weeks ago

In Sumy Oblast, a 52-year-old man was killed with a first-person-view (FPV) drone.

Russian forces struck a non-residential building in Konotop district, Sumy region. Rescuers were surveying the area after shelling when repeated enemy strikes occurred but managed to retreat to safety.
