Russia strikes Kyiv Oblast 28 times in a single day – SES
Russian forces attacked Kyiv Oblast 28 times during the daytime hours of Aug. 27, Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported. Rescue crews are working to clear the aftermath under the constant threat of repeat strikes.
On August 27, Russian forces launched 28 daytime strikes in Kyiv Oblast, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service (SES). Rescue crews raced to clear the wreckage amidst the constant fear of further strikes. Prior to this, the region had already faced multiple nighttime attacks. The SES reported 11 air raid alerts in Kyiv Oblast since nightfall, each lasting over 14 hours.
Struck repeatedly, the region was denied any respite by the Russians. The SES described the ongoing recovery efforts as a test of human endurance, as rescuers frequently had to retreat due to the threat of follow-up attacks. Despite the danger, crews returned to the scene each time. So far, 13 repeat strikes have been encountered while responding to earlier attacks.
Blazes continue to burn at warehouse buildings in three locations due to repeated Russian airstrikes. Fires have damaged warehouses of Ukrainian retail chains Comfy, Fora, Roshen, Avrora, and Budynok Ihrashok, also known as "Toy House". Despite the exhaustion and threat of new attacks, emergency crews in Kyiv Oblast pressed on to clear the aftermath of the Russian onslaught.
