KYIV — Ukrainian authorities say that Russian forces bombarded the northern city of Chernihiv despite Moscow’s earlier claims that it was “radically” scaling back military activity in the area.

“The enemy has demonstrated its ‘decrease in activity’ in the Chernihiv region with strikes on Nizhyn, including airstrikes. Chernihiv was shelled all night,” regional governor Vyacheslav Chaus writes on social media.

Air raid sirens were also heard through the night in Kyiv.
