Summary
In response to intensified Russian shelling, approximately 10,000 residents have evacuated from the town of Hlukhiv, which is located near the border with Russia. This exodus represents about one-third of the town’s prewar population, including nearly 70% of its children, highlighting the urgent need for safety amid ongoing military threats.
The local military administration has reported that the evacuations were prompted by increased shelling, which has raised concerns for the safety of civilians. Hlukhiv lies less than 15 kilometers (approximately 9 miles) from Russian territory and about 40 kilometers (25 miles) southeast of Shostka, making it particularly vulnerable to cross-border attacks. The regional government has urged residents to leave the areas closest to the border as a precautionary measure. This situation reflects the broader impact of the conflict on civilian life in Ukraine, particularly in regions that are frequently targeted by military operations.
