Following a Russian strike in the Sumy region, warehouses containing sulfur-based substances caught fire

Russian troops carried out an airstrike on the outskirts of the Sumy community, resulting in a fire at a warehouse where residues of sulfur-containing substances were stored.

According to preliminary reports, there is no threat to the public. However, residents of the Bezdrica, Verkhnosyrovatska, and Krasnopil communities have been urged to close their windows and, if possible, limit their time outdoors due to a possible sulfur odor.

Specialists from the laboratory center are on site, conducting air quality measurements and monitoring the situation.
