On the night of Friday, June 6, the Russian army launched attacks on Ukrainian territory using strike drones. The city of Chernihiv came under fire, reports Dmytro Bryzhynskyi, head of the Chernihiv City Military Administration.
Around 12:53 a.m. Kyiv time, Bryzhynskyi reported that Chernihiv is under drone attack.
“The city is currently being targeted by Shahed drones. Preliminary reports indicate a strike on an apartment building,” he wrote.
However, by 1:13 a.m., he clarified that the explosion from a Shahed drone was recorded near the apartment building, resulting in damage to the doors and windows of the building.

It is also confirmed that Kyiv is currently under drone attack, with air defense systems actively engaged in the capital.
Additionally, on the night of June 5–6, Russian forces launched strike drones and missiles on multiple fronts across Ukraine.
