The situation around Ukraine has worsened again in the night leading into Saturday
Russian forces have intensified their use of strike drones, targeting from the northern direction in an attempt to hit Ukrainian cities. The situation became particularly tense in the Chernihiv region, especially in Nizhyn, where local authorities report successive explosions and a powerful artillery strike. According to the city mayor, Oleksandr Kodola, all circumstances of the situation are currently being clarified. "The city is under a massive attack using kamikaze drones of the 'Shahed' type. According to preliminary information, approximately ten explosions have been recorded on the outskirts of the city. Additionally, one explosion was recorded in a neighboring village within the Nizhyn community. Casualties and the extent of the destruction are still being assessed, and work to evaluate the consequences is ongoing," he stated. According to new data, the situation in Kyiv region remains tense as well. The Kyiv Regional Military Administration confirmed that air defense systems have been activated in the region, repelling attacks by enemy strike drones. Currently, intensive work by air defense systems is ongoing in several districts of the region, indicating the scale of Russian air aggression. These nighttime actions once again emphasize the trend toward the escalation of Russian drone attacks, which pose a serious threat to peaceful communities. Ukrainian military forces and local authorities have mobilized all resources to counter these attacks, but the level of danger remains high. Official sources call on residents to stay calm and rely on protective systems, as the situation continues to be tense and changing rapidly. Local and regional leaders continue to monitor the situation, and experts emphasize the importance of further enhanced preparedness against air threats. Ukraine remains on alert to face any development of events, urging citizens to remain vigilant and follow safety rules.
