Chernihiv Under Siege: Power Outages and Lives Disrupted Amid Russian Attacks

Russian military operations continued to wreak havoc on Ukraine's Chernihiv region, leaving four civilians dead and plunging hundreds of thousands into darkness. The offensive aims to destabilize Ukraine's energy infrastructure, hitting key power facilities just as winter approaches.

In the town of Novhorod-Siverskyi, 20 Russian kamikaze drones killed four and wounded seven, escalating the assault near the Russian border. Local residents scrambled for water and warmth as 'invincibility points' offered relief amidst the turmoil.

Chernihiv's acting Mayor Oleksandr Lomako rallied citizens with a message of resilience, despite increased air attacks compounding difficulties. Drone threats hampered repair efforts, further exacerbating the region's humanitarian crisis.
