Russia on Saturday bombed the center of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine. Seven people, including a six-year-old child, were killed and 90 injured when a Russian missile hit the central square of the historic city of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine, the interior ministry said Saturday.
People were on their way to a church to celebrate a religious holiday when the attack took place, the ministry said, adding that 12 of those injured were children and 10 were police officers, Reuters reported.
“A Russian missile hit the city center in our Chernihiv,” the head of the Ukrainian state wrote on the Telegram app, continuing: “A square, a polytechnic university, a theater. An ordinary Saturday that Russia turned into a day of pain and loss. There are dead, there are wounded.”
The information about the shelling this morning was announced by the governor of the Chernihiv region, Vyacheslav Chaus, in the same statement, in which he pointed to the presence of a ballistic missile and urged people to stay in cover.
