Chernihiv came under a massive Russian attack on Aug. 3, with several businesses in the city struck, according to Dmytro Bryzhynskyi, head of the Chernihiv City Military Administration.
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.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
