Firefighters extinguish day-long warehouse blaze near Kyiv sparked by Russian strike
A fire in the Brovary district, Kyiv Oblast, that broke out as a result of a Russian attack on Sept. 25 and burned for nearly a day because of repeated air raid alerts has been extinguished, the State Emergency Service reported, publishing a series of photos from the scene.
A warehouse fire in Brovary, near Kyiv, has been brought under control after raging for nearly 24 hours, the State Emergency Service (SES) has announced. The blaze began following a Russian strike on September 25, which initially caused damage but did not ignite a fire. The following day, Russian forces struck the same warehouse again, leading to a large inferno that took firefighters a full day to extinguish.
The extensive firefighting operation was hampered by repeated air raid alerts, forcing emergency responders to withdraw periodically and resume work once clearance was given. Despite the challenging circumstances, no lives were lost in the incident. Russian forces launched attacks on Kyiv and its surroundings on September 25, both at night and throughout the day.
The capital suffered damage to residential buildings, offices, and civilian facilities, while in Kyiv Oblast, private homes, vehicles, and warehouse and production facilities were affected. The attacks resulted in seven fatalities and 59 injuries in the capital, including two children. Among the injured, 25 individuals are currently hospitalized.
In Kyiv Oblast, the daytime attack damaged 11 civilian facilities in Bucha, Fastiv, and Brovary districts, with no casualties reported in those areas.
