More than 200 people were evacuated after a Russian attack sparked a massive fire and explosions at a facility in Ukraine's Kyiv Oblast overnight, leaving people dead and injured, regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said on Aug. 29.
Over 200 residents were evacuated after a Russian drone strike triggered a massive fire and explosions at a facility near Kyiv, Ukraine, on August 29. At least five people were injured, and at least one home was destroyed, while seven others suffered damage, including a nursing home. Regional Governor Tymur Tkachenko confirmed fatalities following the enemy attack, though the exact number was not yet known.
Rescue teams and relevant services continued to work at the scene. An emergency response center was set up on the site, and firefighting efforts were ongoing. The Prosecutor General's Office was investigating the circumstances surrounding the blasts at a facility in the village of Myla in Bucha district, where a fire broke out after the Russian drone attack.
Traffic was closed from kilometers 15 to 32 of the M-06 Kyiv-Chop highway, connecting both cities. Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi expressed concern, stating that the tragedy in Vyshneve did not serve as a lesson. Myla is located approximately 30 kilometers from Kyiv and 18 kilometers from Bucha.
