After the missile strike, the enemy launched reactive strike drones towards the capital. The consequences of the attack were recorded in the Brovary, Bucha, and Fastiv districts of the Kyiv region.

Consequences of the Attack

The head of the Brovary Regional State Administration, Vitaliy Bihun, reported that 8 people died from shelling directly at the train station in the village of Kvitneve. 22 people were injured: 12 in the Brovary district, 7 in Bucha, and 3 in Fastiv. In the Brovary district, logistics and warehouse facilities, industrial enterprises, trade objects, and other infrastructure were on fire. In the Bucha district, fire outbreaks occurred on the premises of logistics complexes, while in the Fastiv district, a company in the village of Kalynivka caught fire.

As of 7:00 AM, rescuers continued to eliminate the consequences in four locations in the Brovary district, two in Bucha, and one in Fastiv. Major fires broke out in Brovary, the village of Velyka Dymerka, as well as in the villages of Kvitneve and Peremoha in the Brovary district. In the Fastiv district, emergency services extinguished the fire of vehicles on the territory of a company. In the Bucha district, firefighting was ongoing at a warehouse building in the village of Chaiky, while the fire at a logistics company in Sofiivska Borshchahivka had already been extinguished.

Ukrzaliznytsia reported that after the nighttime attack, emergency recovery work was underway at the logistics infrastructure facilities in the Brovary district. Dead bodies were found on the railway platform near the attacked logistics centers. Due to the massive shelling, train movement and station operations were temporarily suspended, and passengers and staff were evacuated. During the attack in the capital, a woman was killed, dozens of people were injured, and in the Holosiivskyi district, after a hit on a non-residential building, ammonia leakage occurred, which rescuers eliminated.

'All injured individuals are receiving necessary medical assistance,' said the military administration.

This attack has become one of the bloodiest in recent times, indicating an increase in military aggression from Russia and serious threats to the civilian population of Ukraine. Authorities and rescue services are actively responding to the aftermath, but concerns about the safety of the population remain high, as similar strikes may continue. It is important that the international community pays attention to this situation and continues to support Ukraine in its fight for security and independence.

The recent tragic events in the Kyiv region echo the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict, reminiscent of a recent incident where a family of five, including three children, lost their lives in the Dnipropetrovsk region due to a Russian missile strike. This pattern of violence highlights the urgent need for international attention and response. To learn more about this heartbreaking situation, you can read the full story here.
