On the evening of May 19, russian troops launched a missile strike on gas infrastructure facilities belonging to the Naftogaz Group in the Chernihiv Region. Earlier that day, the russians had attacked the facilities with drones.

It was reported by the Naftogaz press service.

"Targeted shelling of the Group’s assets has been ongoing for the fourth consecutive day," Naftogaz emphasized.

According to preliminary data, no employees were injured. Once the security situation stabilizes, specialists will begin assessing the damage and restoring the damaged facilities.
