Zelenskiy vows to respond after attack on centre of northern city, reportedly involving drones, that killed six-year-old girl and injured 144

At least seven people were killed and 144 injured in a "vile" Russian missile strike that hit a theatre and a central square in the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said.
"I am sure our soldiers will give a response to Russia for this terrorist attack," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address, delivered early on Sunday at the end of a visit to Sweden. "A notable response."
A six-year-old girl named Sofia was among the dead, Zelenskiy said, and 15 of the injured were children. Fifteen others were police officers, interior minister Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram. Most of the victims were in vehicles, crossing the road, or returning from church when a missile hit the city's landmark Drama Theatre, he said.
Regional governor Viacheslav Chaus said 41 people were in hospital on Saturday.
Ukrainian soldiers use a grenade launcher during a military training in Donetsk oblast, Ukraine.
A brief film of a woman in a summer dress posing for the camera appeared to show the moment of the strike in the background, with a missile striking the roof of the theatre and a fire trail traveling beyond towards the ground.
