Deadly Russian missile attack hits Chernihiv- VOA News.

Video captured on Wednesday and obtained by Reuters shows the moment of a large explosion in Chernihiv as people attempted to take cover from the deadly strike at a bus stop.

Chernihiv Mayor Oleksandr Lomako said on Telegram the attacked killed at least 11 people and injured more than 20 others.

Vyacheslav Chaus, the regional governor, said several missiles struck near the center of the city.

“There are victims among civilians and many injured,” Chaus said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued condolences for the victims on social media and reiterated his call for allies to provide Ukraine with aid to defend itself from Russia’s missile and drone attacks.

“This would not have happened if Ukraine had received a sufficient number of air defense systems and if the world's determination to counter Russian terror had been sufficient,” Zelenskyy said. “Terrorists can only destroy lives if they first intimidate those who can stop terror and save lives. Determination matters. Support matters.”
