Russian Lancet Drone Strike Kills 2 People, Injures 11 Including Teens in Chernihiv Region

Two civilians were killed and 11 others injured—including four teenagers—when a Russian Lancet drone struck the outskirts of the village of Novi Borovychi in Ukraine’s Chernihiv region, the head of the Chernihiv regional Administration, Viacheslav Chaus, reported on June 22.

June 23 was declared a Day of Mourning in the Snovsk community to honor the victims.

According to Pavlo Miroshnychenko, head of the Koriukivka District Military Administration, a Russian reconnaissance drone first spotted a group of people gathered outside before a Lancet loitering munition targeted the area just minutes later.

“The enemy drone detected civilians and struck with intent. It was a deliberate hit on a group of local residents,” Miroshnychenko stated.
