4 injured in Kyiv Oblast as Russian drones reportedly strike pharmaceutical warehouse
Russia launched a drone attack on the city of Hostomel in Kyiv Oblast on the evening of Oct. 2, striking warehouses and reportedly injuring four people, including a child, officials reported.
On October 2, a drone attack on Hostomel, located in Kyiv Oblast, resulted in four injuries, including a child, according to officials. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv Oblast Military Administration, stated that two men and one woman sustained multiple injuries, while an 8-year-old girl was injured by shrapnel in her lower limb.
Hospitalization was required for at least one of the victims. The extent of the injuries was not immediately known. Reports indicated that a warehouse belonging to Venta LTD, Ukraine's third-largest pharmaceutical distributor, was among the targets. However, the exact company affected in the strike was not specified by officials.
Among the targets were also unspecified production facilities, which were set ablaze in the attack. The Kyiv Independent was unable to independently verify these reports, and company officials have not commented on the incident. Russia has been ramping up its attacks on Ukraine's capital region since August, launching prolonged drone assaults on civilian targets in and around Kyiv.
Earlier in the day, a Russian drone targeted the Southern Bridge over the Dnipro River, marking the fourth such strike on the bridge in just two days.
