The stress state of a shallow isotropic spherical shell with circular rigid inclusions subject to a force or a moment is determined. The case of two inclusions of unequal radii is analyzed numerically. It is established that the stresses in the shell increase substantially with decrease in the inclusion radius and the distance between the two inclusions
