## Key Points

- Russian forces hit a Naftogaz facility in the Chernihiv region with two missiles during the day.
- Technological equipment and the building were damaged; there were no casualties as staff were sheltered.
- The attack is part of a series of strikes on the energy sector in November 2026, including facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk region and central Ukraine.

Russian forces launched a missile attack during the day on a facility belonging to the Naftogaz company in the Chernihiv region. According to the company, the strike involved two missiles, resulting in severe damage to the facility. The attack is another episode of systematic pressure on Ukraine's fuel and energy sector ahead of the heating season.

### Scale of damage

According to Naftogaz, the missile strike damaged technological equipment, and the facility building itself suffered serious destruction. A full assessment of the scale of the consequences could not be carried out at the time of publication: the company explains this by the complex security situation in the region, which limits access for specialists to the site and the possibility of a detailed inspection.

### No casualties

The company emphasized that all workers were in shelter at the time of the strike, so there were no casualties. This is essentially the only positive element of the incident: no human casualties or injuries were recorded, but material damage was inflicted on critical infrastructure.

### Targeted strikes on energy

"This strike is another targeted attack by Russia on Ukrainian energy infrastructure ahead of winter," Naftogaz stated. The company points to a consistent logic in the enemy's actions: Russia continues systematic attacks on the fuel and energy sector, attempting to destroy critical infrastructure and thereby weaken the country's ability to provide energy supply during the cold period.

### Series of attacks in November 2026

The Chernihiv region was not the only area where industry enterprises were hit in November 2026. On the night of November 11, Russian forces struck a Naftogaz facility in the Dnipropetrovsk region using jet drones. Earlier, on the night of November 7, a similar enemy attack was recorded: according to reports, the Russians attacked a Naftogaz facility in the central part of Ukraine three times. Thus, strikes on the company's infrastructure have become recurring serial operations.

### Preparation for the heating season

Amid regular shelling, Naftogaz continues to prepare for the heating season and is developing response strategies for various challenges. The company emphasizes that despite missile and drone attacks, it remains focused on ensuring the system's operability and minimizing consequences for consumers.
