Russian attacks on Chernihiv region injure three, including a child

Russian forces attacked Ukraine's Chernihiv region during the day, injuring three people, including a child, according to Ukrinform.

Police officers were dispatched to the affected area to document the aftermath of the strike, the outlet reported. Details on the precise location within the region, the type of weapon used, and the condition of those injured were not immediately available.

The Chernihiv region, in northern Ukraine near the border with Russia and Belarus, has repeatedly come under Russian fire since the start of the full-scale invasion, with both civilian infrastructure and residential areas affected in previous strikes.

Ukrainian authorities routinely document such attacks as part of ongoing efforts to record evidence of strikes on civilian areas. No further details on potential targets, casualties beyond those already reported, or Russian military comment on the strike were available at the time of reporting.

The incident adds to a continuing pattern of cross-border and frontline strikes on the Chernihiv region, which remains one of several Ukrainian territories regularly subjected to Russian attacks.
