Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (SES) says that a Russian plane was shot down at the edge of the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, which has seen intense fighting for almost a week.
The plane crashed into a residential area, the SES said, adding that it was unknown if there were casualties. The crash caused fires in four private homes.
Local people were being evacuated after three 500-kilogram bombs were found, the SES said.
Authorities said 17 people were killed in the Chernihiv region over the 24 hours to 8 a.m. Saturday as a result of shelling. Another person died due to fire.
According to the Chernihiv Regional State Administration, “during the day on March 4 and on the night of March 5, Russian aircraft systematically bombed Chernihiv, mostly residential areas.”
