Main article: Sumykhimprom ammonia leak

On 21 March 2022, during the battle of Sumy,[according to whom?] a Russian airstrike damaged one of the ammonia tanks at the Sumykhimprom plant, contaminating land within a 2.5 km radius including the villages of Novoselytsia and Verkhnya Syrovatka.[3][4] Due to the direction of the wind, the city of Sumy was largely unaffected despite its proximity to the leak.[5]
