Russian attack injures four, including 8-year-old girl

On the evening of October 2, a Russian drone attack on Hostomel in Kyiv Oblast injured four people, including an 8-year-old girl. The most severely injured victim was a 66-year-old man who sustained burns and blunt abdominal trauma, and was subsequently hospitalized. The young girl suffered a shrapnel wound to her leg, while two others sustained minor injuries.

Another man was injured with burns to his head, and a woman had a bruised left knee and acute stress reaction, both receiving medical attention at the scene and not requiring hospitalization. The attack led to fires at warehouses and production facilities in Hostomel. Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported that firefighters managed to extinguish the fires at two warehouses in Bucha Raion.

Emergency crews continued to clear debris and extinguish remaining flames after the fires were brought under control. Earlier on October 2, several hundred people gathered in Vyshhorod to bid farewell to 14-year-old Illia, who tragically lost his life in a Russian strike on the city on September 30. His body was found amidst the ruins of a demolished house following Russia's extensive missile and drone assault on Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast on September 30.
