Ukraine war: Footage appears to show moment drone attack hits building in central Moscow
President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed revenge for the attack which left seven dead and 144 injured in Chernihiv.
“I am sure our soldiers will give a response to Russia for this terrorist attack,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address, delivered early on Sunday at the end of a visit to Sweden. “A notable response.”
He said that of the 144 people injured, 15 were children, and named the girl killed as Sofia. Fifteen others were police officers, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram. Klymenko said most of the victims were in vehicles, crossing the road, or returning from church.
Regional governor Viacheslav Chaus said 41 people were in hospital on Saturday.
Zelensky said the strike on Chernihiv, a city of leafy boulevards and centuries-old churches about 145 km (90 miles) north of Kyiv, coincided with the Orthodox holiday of the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord.
It comes as a Ukrainian drone crashed into the rooftop of a railway station in the Russian city of Kursk, injuring five people and setting off a fire, the TASS news agency said on Sunday, citing regional governor Roman Starovoit.
