The day before, Russian forces targeted administrative buildings in central Chernihiv with drones. Two people were injured there.
How to protect yourself during missile and drone attacks
In case of a missile or drone threat, you should immediately move to a shelter. The safest places include:
- bomb shelters
- metro stations
- entrances/hallways without windows
If no shelter is nearby, you can hide at home. Follow the “two-wall rule”: there should be at least two walls between you and the outside.
You can sit in the corner of a room below window level, with a wall directly in front of you.
Avoid hiding in the kitchen or bathroom, as they contain many fragile and sharp objects.
In apartment buildings, you can take cover in the stairwell between floors. If you are in a high-rise, go at least two floors below the roof. In a three-story building, the second floor is considered the safest.
