Russian shelling killed at least one civilian and injured two others in Ukraine's Sumy region, according to local administration reports. This incident coincides with Kyiv's significant cross-border assault in Russia's adjacent Kursk region.

The regional military administration noted that 45 Russian attacks had been recorded on Tuesday. These included guided bomb strikes, drone explosions, and shelling, as Russian forces stepped up airstrikes on border settlements following the incursion.

In response to increased hostilities and the activation of Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups, Kyiv's military restricted civilian movement within a 20 km (12 mile) zone of the northeastern border area. The measure is temporary, allowing residents to access their homes with proof of registration.
