Two local men were killed and another man was injured after a Russian drone struck a critical infrastructure facility in Mena, in Ukraine’s Chernihiv region, at around 16:00 on Saturday, November 14, according to regional officials cited by Ukrinform.
Pavlo Miroshnychenko, head of the Koriukivka District Military Administration, reported the strike in a Facebook post. He said the two men who died were aged 42 and 45.
“Today, at around 16:00, the Russians struck a critical infrastructure facility in Mena with a drone. Two local men, aged 42 and 45, were killed in the enemy attack”
Ukrinform reported that a 33-year-old man was also injured and was receiving treatment at a medical facility. None of the three men was identified by name in the report.
Facility type not specified
The report described the target as a critical infrastructure facility but did not specify what type of facility was struck. It provided no further details about the extent of damage.
Previous attacks affected electricity supplies
In previous reporting, Ukrinform said Russian attacks had damaged electricity supply facilities in the Pryluky and Nizhyn districts of Chernihiv region, leaving approximately 150,000 electricity consumers without power.
That earlier reporting concerned damage to electricity supply facilities in the two districts. It does not establish that the facility struck in Mena on Saturday was an electricity installation.
The latest reported strike left two men dead and one injured, according to Miroshnychenko’s account. The specific type of infrastructure targeted in Mena remains unspecified in the report.
