Quote from Chaus: "In the evening, Russian drones – Gerans – attacked an energy facility in a border hromada in the Chernihiv district. A fire broke out at the site of the strike but was extinguished. Power engineers are working to restore the supply."

Details: The Russians struck transport infrastructure in the Nizhyn district, while a residential building and a car were damaged by drone debris in the Koriukivka district.

"The enemy struck the oblast with attack drones overnight; some of those drones were heading towards Chernihiv. No hits were recorded within the city [of Chernihiv – ed.]," Chaus added.

Over the past day, 17 settlements have come under attack, with 35 attacks and 104 explosions recorded, Chaus reported.
