President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on Kyiv’s allies to send air defence support after Chernihiv, which had a prewar population of 300,000, became the latest target of an intensifying Russian airstrike campaign.
The regional governor, Vyacheslav Chaus, told the public broadcaster Suspilne that Russia had attacked Chernihiv with three Iskander cruise missiles.
As civilians cleared up glass and debris with shovels near residential houses, doctors urged people to donate blood and city officials declared a day of mourning.
Ukraine is facing an acute shortage of ammunition, including air defence systems and missiles, with vital funding from the US blocked by Republicans in Congress for months and the EU failing to deliver munitions on time.
Russia has taken advantage of these delays in recent weeks, intensifying its attacks on Ukrainian cities and targeting the energy sector and other critical infrastructure.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and has launched thousands of missiles and drones against cities, towns and villages in attacks that have killed hundreds of civilians.
