Newspaper newsroom damaged as result of russia’s drone hit in Sumy Region

In the Sumy Region, the newsroom of the Ridnyi Krai newspaper and the homes of journalists were damaged as a result of the nightly russian strike by the shaheeds in the center of Buryn, Sumy Region.

“The City Council promised to provide chipboard to block the windows. We are waiting now,” said Liudmyla Maznova, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, told the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU).

She added that, despite the consequences of the strike, the newsroom is working because today is graduation day, and the newspaper must be published on time.
