On 17 April 2024, at around 9:00 am local time,[3] the Russian military forces launched a missile strike against an eight-storey residential building in Chernihiv, Ukraine. Besides the direct hit against said residential building, another four high-rise buildings, a hospital, dozens of cars and a higher education institution were damaged. The attack killed 18 people, while 78 were injured.[1][4][5][6][7] The attack came after a Ukrainian strike on a Russian military airfield in occupied Crimea.[4]
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy once again appealed to the West to provide Ukraine with air defence equipment, claiming the attack happened because Ukrainian Army was running out of defence missiles.[4]
