The enemy conducts approximately 150 shellings daily in the border regions of Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv, with the majority occurring in Sumy region.

This was reported by Andrii Demchenko, spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service, on a television broadcast, according to Ukrinform.

However, at times, the invaders intensify their shellings in Chernihiv region. Most of the shelling is done using artillery, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles. When it comes to Sumy region, aviation is also used," Demchenko explained.

He clarified that "the number of shellings conducted by the enemy is quite high, with around 150 daily, most within Sumy region."
