Rocket strike on Chernihiv
In the morning, terrorists struck the center of Chernihiv, presumably with a ballistic missile. After some time, Acting Mayor Oleksandr Lomak announced that there were casualties and fatalities among civilians.
Later, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also responded to the attack. As the country's leader noted, today's shelling was one of the reasons why Ukraine was uniting the world against the terrorist Russian Federation.
"This is what a neighborhood with a terrorist state is, this is what we unite the whole world against. A Russian missile hit right in the center of the city, in our Chernihiv. A square, the polytechnic university, a theater. An ordinary Saturday, which Russia turned into a day of pain and loss. There are dead, there are wounded. My condolences to those who lost loved ones!" the President wrote.
