Attack on Chernihiv
On the night of December 8, Russian forces attacked Chernihiv with a drone. The UAV exploded near one of the buildings, breaking windows, causing a fire, and injuring people.
"The enemy UAV exploded near a multi-story building. The blast shattered windows and doors and damaged vehicles," earlier reports stated.
It is known that Russian forces regularly attack Chernihiv using not only drones but also missiles. The enemy also launched a wave of disinformation about an alleged offensive on the city. However, the Center for Countering Disinformation stated that this is fake.
The Center for Countering Disinformation urges Ukrainians to remain calm and trust only official information, as the information front remains one of the key directions of Russian attacks.
