Russian forces have been continuously attacking the city with drones and Banderol missiles since 6 a.m. The first explosions were heard around 6:30 a.m.
Ukraine's Air Force had earlier reported Banderol missiles moving toward Chernihiv from the east. At 11:05 a.m., the Air Force warned of a drone in northern Chernihiv Oblast heading west.
One person suffered shrapnel wounds in the attack, and a fire broke out at the site of one strike, according to officials. Further details are being confirmed.
On July 26, Russia struck an ATB supermarket in Chernihiv with a jet-powered drone guided via video link, killing two people, including a 10-year-old girl. Two additional drones struck a car repair shop and a warehouse in that attack, bringing the total number of injured to 25.
