It is worth noting that at about 9:00 on April 17, Russian terrorists hit Chernihiv with three missiles. The attack left at least 9 dead and more than 20 wounded. Acting Mayor Oleksandr Lomako said that the attack hit a social infrastructure facility. There was a direct hit, and the damage to several floors of the extension to the social infrastructure building is visible.
