Russian forces attacked Ukraine’s Chernihiv Oblast with drones, with authorities recording 41 shelling incidents and 70 explosions over the past day, regional Gov. Viacheslav Chaus said on Jan. 25.
He said that on Saturday morning a drone damaged private homes in a village in Nizhyn district. In a village in Chernihiv district, Russian forces struck the territory of an agricultural cooperative. The shelling set a grain storage hangar on fire and damaged five trucks.
In addition, two explosions were heard late in the evening in Novhorod-Siverskyi. Russian Geran drones attacked residential areas, damaging homes and setting a building at one enterprise ablaze.
On Jan. 24, Chaus reported that hundreds of thousands of households were left without electricity after Russian shelling hit an energy facility in Nizhyn. Consumers in Chernihiv were also cut off from power. Critical infrastructure facilities in the city are operating on alternative power sources, and water and heat supplies have been maintained, he said.
On the night of Jan. 25, Russia attacked Ukraine with two Iskander-M ballistic missiles, S-300 surface-to-air guided missiles from Bryansk Oblast, and 102 strike drones, about 70 of them Shaheds.
