Russian forces launched a series of attacks on Kyiv Oblast on August 27, utilizing attack drones and ballistic missiles. The assault damaged warehouse facilities and private residences in various districts, according to regional governor Tymur Tkachenko. In the Boryspil district, warehouses were set alight and are currently being doused by emergency services.

Damage was also inflicted on warehouses in the Fastiv district, with one private home each in the Brovary and Vyshhorod districts sustaining harm. As of the initial report, there were no casualties reported. Tkachenko advised residents to seek refuge in shelters and not to disregard air raid sirens.
