Incident in the Holosiivskyi District
An undetonated warhead from an enemy unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was discovered in a forest within Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district, near the village of Lisnyky. The discovery was reported on March 7. In response to the dangerous ordnance, law enforcement secured the area and closed traffic on Dniprovske Highway.
A joint investigative and operational team from the local police department, patrol officers, and explosives experts from the capital's police are working at the scene. Authorities have planned to detonate the warhead in place. This discovery follows a massive Russian strike on Kyiv overnight on March 7, which damaged critical infrastructure and left thousands of apartment buildings without heating by the morning of March 7. These incidents underscore the persistent threat to the capital from aerial attacks.
Situation in the Kyiv Region
Separately, on March 6, the Kyiv region came under drone attack, resulting in damage recorded in two of its districts. The security situation remains tense, with law enforcement continuing their work to ensure public safety.
The discovery of the live warhead in Kyiv highlights the ongoing dangers posed by the conflict, particularly from unexploded ordnance. Such remnants of attacks present a severe threat to civilians, making their safe disposal a priority for emergency services. This event reflects the heightened risks in the region due to the continuing military hostilities.
