Two firefighters were wounded in the Chernihiv region during rescue operations at a critical infrastructure facility as a result of shelling.

According to Ukrinform, the Head of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, Viacheslav Chaus, reported this on Telegram.

"In the community of the Nizhyn district, the enemy targeted a critical infrastructure facility. Two firefighters were wounded and hospitalized. This is the second time in a week that the Russians have resorted to blatant terrorist practices in the Chernihiv region: they strike, then strike again, waiting for rescuers to arrive to deal with the consequences of the shelling," Chaus wrote.

He also reported that Chernihiv was attacked by strike drones, which caused damage to the infrastructure.
