One American citizen has been killed on Thursday after a horrifying shelling attack by Russian troops took place in the Ukrainian Chernihiv region.
Sources from the Ukrainian police revealed how the brutal Russian troops began to open fire on the portion of the city that is located in the northern part of Ukraine. It has also been revealed how this location is very near to the Belarus border.
The US State Department has reportedly confirmed the news of the American citizen’s death on Thursday.
According to reports, the US Secretary of State shared the tragic news during a recent press briefing meeting during the afternoon hours.
However, the victim is yet to be named and it’s still unclear as to why they were still in Ukraine during the time of the war.
The news was posted recently on Facebook by the Chernihiv Police who claim that officials are now documenting the incident and are also taking note of the consequences of the enemy beginning to shell on innocent civilians in the heart of Chernihiv.
“Today is another day that the occupiers have managed to carry out a brutal and heavy artillery attack on one unnamed civilian who was resident in the city”- the message proclaimed.
“There are several dead and others wounded in this brutal attack. And among them include on a citizen of the US”- the message continued.
At the moment, police officers are busy helping rescue officials as they try to evacuate the area and take those injured to medical facilities on time.
Police investigators and other law enforcement officers could also be seen working at the scene of the tragedy.
At first, the automated translation by Facebook mistakenly stated that citizens had been killed but it was soon corrected.
