A six-year-old girl was among the dead in the attack.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed a stern retaliation to the Russian missile strike in the centre of the northern city of Chernihiv that killed seven people and wounded more than 100 others.
He named a six-year-old girl, Sofia, as among the dead in the attack and confirmed that the wounded included 15 children. Meanwhile, in Russia, five people were wounded when a Ukrainian drone hit a train station in the city of Kursk, regional governor Roman Starovoit said on Sunday. Kursk is the capital of the western region of the same name, which borders Ukraine.
Russian air defences jammed a drone flying towards Moscow early Sunday causing it to crash. Russia’s Defence Ministry called it “an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack”.Moscow’s Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports briefly suspended flights, but no victims or damage were reported.
