On March 14, 2026, Russian forces carried out a large-scale, combined assault on Ukraine's Kyiv Oblast. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least four people, with more than ten others wounded. The strike impacted several districts, including Brovary, Vyshhorod, Obukhiv, Bila Tserkva, and Bucha.
Widespread Damage and Casualties Reported
In the city of Brovary, three people were killed and eight injured. The shelling there damaged:
- Warehouse and industrial facilities

- A greenhouse
- Two private houses
- A post office
Firefighters in Brovary were also battling a blaze at an office building, while in the village of Pohreby, a restaurant roof caught fire. In the Vyshhorod district, in the village of Novi Petrivtsi, one man was killed and two people were hospitalized. There, warehouse buildings were destroyed and a cargo truck was damaged.
In the Obukhiv district, specifically in the city of Ukrainka, falling debris set the roof of a nine-story building on fire and damaged an elevator shaft. Fires also broke out in private homes in the city of Obukhiv and the village of Tarasivka. In the Bila Tserkva district, an agricultural building was damaged, and in the Bucha district, in the village of Stoyanka, a fire at a private house was extinguished.
In Kyiv, electric public transport was temporarily halted on several routes due to the aftermath of the shelling.
