Missile strike injures woman in city of Chernihiv

Ukraine’s state communications service reports loud blasts in the capital Kyiv and the second city Kharkiv as fighting for major cities continues overnight.

Kyiv had been relatively quiet for several hours before the explosion.

A missile hits a residential building in the city of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine, setting ablaze two of the building’s lower floors, the Kyiv Independent reports.

One woman is injured in the missile strike.

Air raid alerts were heard earlier in the night in Chernihiv, sending residents to shelters.

There is no word yet on whether Russian forces have taken any cities during the night’s fighting.
