Details: Tymoshko said the Russians struck the civilian facility deliberately, seeking to cause the greatest number of casualties.

Quote: "This indicates that it's not a military action, it's an act of terrorism, an act of their senseless hatred towards everything connected with Ukraine, particularly their hatred towards any person, including civilians."

Details: Tymoshko also confirmed Russian drone strikes at two other locations in Chernihiv. According to the press service for Chernihiv City Council, a garage and a car were damaged at one location, while three cars caught fire at another.
