Details: Russian forces struck a residential area in one of the settlements of the Horodnia hromada in the Chernihiv district, where a house has caught fire and two men aged 60 and 31 have been injured. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]
They have been hospitalised and emergency services have quickly extinguished the fire.
A strike on forest land was also recorded, where a fire broke out. As of the morning, it had been put out.
Update: Chaus later added that the Russians had attacked villages in the Horodnia hromada using first-person view (FPV) drones.
He said: "An agricultural facility has been damaged – farm buildings, a car and a tractor. In the evening, a lorry and a house were also damaged by FPV drone strikes. Two civilians were injured. They are aged 30 and 60. They have been hospitalised. A forest management office has been hit in another village. An office building has caught fire. A 58-year-old civilian man has been injured. He is in hospital."
Dry grass caught fire in the Koriukivka, Nizhyn and Novhorod-Siverskyi districts as a result of Russian drone attacks.
Afterwards, Chaus added that the Russians had also attacked central Chernihiv.
"An attack drone was used in this strike. An office building and cars have been damaged. Three people have sought medical treatment for concussion. All the necessary services are working at the site of the strike."
