Russian occupiers carried out missile and air strikes on radio engineering facilities in Sumy region, as a result, television and radio broadcast transmitters in Sumy, Shostka, Bilopillia and Trostianets were temporarily disabled, and interruptions in mobile communications are also possible in the region, the regional military administration said.

"Russian criminals carried out missile and air strikes on radio engineering facilities in Sumy region. Television and radio broadcasting transmitters in Sumy, Shostka, Bilopillia and Trostianets were temporarily disabled. Due to the damage, part of the region's territory (temporarily) cannot receive Ukrainian television and radio signals. Interruptions with mobile communications are possible," the administration said on the Telegram channel on Thursday.

The administration's head, Volodymyr Artiukh, said the consequences of the strikes are currently being analyzed, and plans are being formed to restore television and radio broadcasting.

"Do not give in to panic and information provocations. Switch to alternative means of communication, trust only trusted sources of information," he said.
