A Russian attack ravaged a nine-story residential building in Boryspil, Kyiv Oblast, engulfing the roof and igniting a fire in one apartment, according to regional authorities on Friday. The Kyiv Oblast Military Administration reported that the strike inflicted substantial damage to the building's top floor and the roof, setting ablaze the upper echelons of the structure.
The administration's statement on Telegram disclosed, "As a result of the enemy attack in Boryspil, the roof and the upper floor of a nine-story residential building were damaged. A fire broke out on the roof and in one of the apartments."
Emergency services, alongside other relevant services, were on-site to address the aftermath of the attack. Amidst a series of Russian attacks proliferating across Ukraine, targeting civilian infrastructure and residential locales, President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, expressing Ukraine's pledge to refrain from air strikes during the forthcoming visit of US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow.
Zelensky anticipated Russia to reciprocate the restraint during the diplomatic mission, stating, "There will be no air strikes from our side, and Russia must do the same."
