The Russian Armed Forces hit the television tower in Chernihiv: details

Share: Residents of Chernihiv were asked not to approach the TV tower located in the center of the city. The day before, the Russian Armed Forces struck it with a Shahed-type drone, and now the TV tower is in an unstable state, the press service of the Chernihiv City Council reported.

According to the mayor's office, experts are currently working on stabilizing the structure, so the authorities ask city residents not to approach it within a radius of 200 meters in order to avoid possible emergency situations and the death or injury of people. According to "Suspilne", the Russian occupiers struck the center of Chernigov three times with drones within two days. The first time it happened on the night of October 28, and the next two - in the morning and late evening of the 29th.

The first blow fell on a critical infrastructure object in the center of the city, the second on the TV tower, the photo of which after the attack went viral. The television tower in Chernihiv is a tower made of steel pipe structures. It was built according to the typical shortened project 3803-KM at the end of the 50s of the last century and was officially put into operation on December 24, 1959. The height of the building is 148 meters (height above sea level is 127 meters).
