Quote: "Enemy drones, presumably Geran UAVs [the Russian version of Iranian-made Shahed drones – ed.], attacked the Nizhyn district. Fires broke out at the scenes of the strikes but were extinguished. One of the strikes hit an energy infrastructure facility."

Details: As a result of the strike, more than 26,000 households in the town of Bobrovytsia and nearby settlements were cut off from the power grid. Energy workers are already at the scene of the strike, carrying out repairs.

Over the past day alone, the Russians attacked Chernihiv Oblast 20 times. Explosions were reported in 13 settlements. In addition to the Nizhyn district, the Koriukivka and the Novhorod-Siverskyi districts also came under fire.

Background: Russian forces have been targeting Chernihiv Oblast's energy infrastructure for a week. On 26 September, it was reported that several such facilities in the region had been hit.
