Details: Geran drones (the Russian version of the Iranian-made Shahed) struck a heat and power facility in the city of Chernihiv.

In the Chernihiv district, attack drones hit a critical infrastructure facility. Several settlements were left without power, but electricity had been restored by the morning, Chaus said.

There was also a hit on an energy facility in another settlement. A business facility was attacked in the Horodnia hromada. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

In the town of Mena, a UAV strike targeted one of the local businesses.

Chaus reported that the town of Novhorod-Siverskyi was attacked by Russian Geran drones, causing damage. A police station, a medical college and houses were damaged.

"In his home, a 50-year-old civilian man was killed in the attack. A police officer was injured. Firefighters worked at the impact sites, extinguishing fires," Chaus reported.

In total, he said, the oblast experienced 56 attacks with 103 explosions over the past day.
