Targeted strike: Russian UAV equipped with video camera attacked ATB supermarket in Chernihiv, - National Police
The enemy used a drone equipped with a video camera to carry out an attack on the ATB in Chernihiv.
Volodymyr Tymoshko, head of the National Police in the Chernihiv region, made this statement in a comment to Suspilne, according to Censor.NET.
The Russians deliberately targeted a civilian facility
Tymoshko noted that these conclusions had been reached following a preliminary explosives analysis. He emphasised that the Russians had deliberately targeted a civilian facility in order to cause a greater number of casualties.
"This indicates that these are not acts of war, but acts of terrorism, acts of their senseless hatred towards everything associated with Ukrainian identity and Ukraine. In particular, their hatred towards any person, including civilians," added the head of the National Police in the Chernihiv region.
