Three Russian missiles slammed into a downtown area of the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv on Wednesday, hitting an eight-floor apartment building and killing at least 11 people, authorities said. 

At least 22 people were wounded in the morning attack, Ukraine’s Interior Ministry said. Chernihiv lies about 150 km north of the capital, Kyiv, near the border with Russia and Belarus, and has a population of around 2,50,000 people.
