In the village of Ulanove, Esman community, Sumy region, the Dormition Church of the Konotop Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was destroyed as a result of Russian shelling.
According to local outlet Hlukhiv.City, citing the head of the Esman community, Serhiy Minakov, the exact time of the strike cannot yet be established, as the settlement is under constant attack.
