Details: Russian UAVs attacked Chernihiv Oblast over the past day, causing fires in the Koriukivka, Chernihiv and Novhorod-Siverskyi districts.
A critical infrastructure facility caught fire in the settlement of Snovsk, an open area caught fire in the town of Horodnia and the roof of a residential building caught fire in Semenivka.
Firefighters from the State Emergency Service extinguished all fires and cleared the aftermath of the attacks. Early reports suggest there were no casualties.
Quote from Chaus: "The enemy attacked Semenivka with drones last night. Homes and a car were damaged. Yesterday afternoon, windows in houses were damaged in an FPV drone strike."
Agricultural machinery was damaged in a village in the Novhorod-Siverskyi hromada as a result of a Gerbera-type drone strike. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]
Geran-type drones hit critical infrastructure facilities in two hromadas in the Koriukivka and Chernihiv districts, including energy and transport facilities.
Chaus said that the Russians attacked Chernihiv Oblast 21 times over the course of the day.
