In the city of Chernihiv, Ukrainian authorities reported a strike on a garage cooperative, where eight garages were destroyed and 96 others were damaged.

A private residential house was also hit, while a utility and storage building was destroyed on the grounds of a municipal facility, officials said.

Emergency services extinguished fires that broke out at the affected sites.

Ukrainian officials said no fatalities or injuries were reported.

Russia started its "special military operation" in Ukraine in February 2022 to "denazify" and "demilitarize" Ukraine.

According to its memorandum for the settlement of the conflict, Moscow has demanded a ban on Kyiv joining military alliances and withdrawal of Ukraine's troops from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, the regions it annexed after a referendum in September 2022, among others.

Ukraine has called the terms an "ultimatum" and has called for a ceasefire as a prerequisite for meaningful talks.
