A media report indicates that only 3 out of 30 planned mobile shelters have been installed in Sumy, Ukraine, despite daily Russian attacks causing civilian casualties. The procurement and installation of these shelters are reportedly stalled due to inaction by officials.

In September, Sumy reported 13 killed and 145 wounded civilians, an increase from August's figures of 9 killed and 83 wounded. The delay in shelter installation is occurring while the city faces daily Russian attacks.
