“On January 28, during a night attack by the enemy, one of the villages of Sumy district was struck. A fire broke out in a non-residential building. The State Emergency Service immediately arrived at the scene and began to extinguish the fire. Due to the high fire load, the fire quickly engulfed the wooden materials inside the building and spread over a large area,” the statement said.
