Yesterday, the enemy once again struck numerous times at Semenivka community in Novhorod-Siverskyi district in Chernihiv region. The shelling in the border village damaged 6 houses and 11 outbuildings. An elderly couple, an 82-year-old man and a 75-year-old woman, asked the police to evacuate the village, the Chernihiv police said.
Police, together with local authorities, reportedly evacuated two pensioners from the border.
According to Vyacheslav Chaus, head of the Chernihiv RMA, the deputy head of the RSA, Dmytro Sinenko, visited Semenivka and Novhorod-Siverska communities, which suffer the most from constant Russian shelling. "The enemy is constantly terrorizing local residents, burning down their homes with its weapons - for example, in Baranivka in Semenivka district, only one house out of 70 remained intact," Chaus said in Telegram.
"Together with the local authorities, the State Emergency Service and the police, we analyzed security threats and worked to solve key problems: evacuating residents to safer areas, providing them with housing and other support. On this day alone, two elderly residents were urgently evacuated from one of the border villages," he said.
According to him, there are currently opportunities to accommodate evacuees in a number of settlements in the same communities at a greater distance from the border with Russia. Donors were also involved in organizing temporary housing: 13 modular houses were installed in the Semenivka community and people are already moving in.
