The Air Force reported several UAV groups in the northern part of Chernihiv Oblast.
Dmytro Bryzhynskyi, head of Chernihiv City Military Administration, confirmed the explosions and said they were linked to the work of air defense in the city.
He later reported that a drone fell near the city; no impacts inside Chernihiv were recorded.
Russian forces launched an attack on Ukraine with 100 drones; 26 of them struck in nine locations, and 66 UAVs were neutralized by air-defense.
The State Emergency Service (SES) reported an attack on energy infrastructure in Sumy Oblast; fires were extinguished. Part of the Sumy community was left without power.
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.
