After the strike, workers may have been trapped under the debris, complicating the rescuers' task. The Chernihiv City Council confirmed that the number of injured had risen to four people, but the exact number of casualties was still being established at that moment.

Use of Drones

On the morning of the same day, a Russian drone attacked a residential area in Chernihiv. As a result of this strike, a 39-year-old woman and her 4-year-old daughter were killed. Another 14-year-old child was injured and hospitalized. The use of drones by Russian troops is becoming more frequent, especially with the active deployment of rocket drones and loitering munitions 'Bandero'. Rocket drones, which have a significantly higher speed than regular drones, pose a serious threat.

To destroy rocket drones, Ukrainian forces are using surface-to-air guided missiles and aviation strike assets. Dmytro Bryzhynskyi commented on the situation, stating:

The enemy struck the city again. As a result of the attack, a warehouse was damaged. There are casualties: 2 people were injured. - Dmytro Bryzhynskyi
