The head of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, Viacheslav Chaus, reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

It is noted that all relevant services are working at the sites of the enemy strikes in Chernihiv, with volunteers also involved. Emergency repair and restoration work is ongoing.

"There were strikes in the region. In particular, in Chernihiv, due to an attack on an energy facility, electricity was cut off for tens of thousands of consumers," he wrote.
