Russia Strikes Nova Poshta Warehouses Twice in One Hour Near Kyiv
Russian forces struck Nova Poshta warehouse facilities near Kyiv three times overnight, including two follow-up strikes as firefighters battled the resulting blaze. The attack was part of a broader Russian assault that damaged logistics facilities and warehouses across the Kyiv region.
On August 28, a Russian strike damaged a Nova Poshta warehouse complex in Svyatopetrivske, Kyiv Oblast, causing significant destruction to the facilities and production areas. The attack was followed by two secondary strikes while emergency crews were battling the blaze, though they managed to evacuate safely. The head of the Bilohorodka community, Anton Ovsienko, reported that the extent of the damage and casualties are still being assessed.
Local authorities advised residents to keep windows closed and stay indoors due to heavy smoke. Traffic was temporarily disrupted on several key roads in the area. Additionally, a separate Russian attack on August 27 caused damage to several major commercial facilities in Kyiv Oblast, including a Comfy distribution center, a Roshen warehouse, a Budinok Ihrashok distribution center, an Aurora multimarket distribution center, and a newly opened Fora warehouse.
Russian forces launched 28 attacks on Kyiv Oblast during an air raid alert that lasted over 14 hours, with emergency crews facing repeated fire 13 times during the rescue efforts.
