Overnight, the Kyiv region was targeted once more — Russian drones attacked several districts, causing significant damage and fires, and threatening the lives of local residents. According to the official information from Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, the attack serves as a further reminder of the dangerous situation in the region and the increasing threat from Russian aggressors. According to the head of the regional administration, in the Bucha district, part of Kyiv region, at least six private residential houses were damaged during the nighttime drone attack. Four vehicles were also damaged — they suffered destruction or significant damage, and three utility buildings and garages sustained substantial damage. An out-of-town complex was also hit, resulting in damage and a fire. Additionally, a fire broke out at one of the construction sites in the region but was quickly extinguished by firefighters. Fortunately, no residents or workers were injured as a result of this attack, which is a comforting piece of news in this difficult situation. Local authorities report that the shelling and fire did not cause any human casualties but did inflict substantial material damage and prompted additional safety measures in the region. According to Mykola Kalashnyk, air defense forces successfully shot down several enemy targets, which minimized the extent of destruction and saved civilian lives. Photographs and comments from the scene were published by Mykola Kalashnyk’s official Telegram channel. The images show destroyed houses, damaged vehicles, and scorched sections of the construction site. Meanwhile, local emergency services responded promptly; the fire at the construction site has already been extinguished — the flames are out, and specialists are inspecting the damaged objects on-site. Preliminary reports indicate that there is currently no threat to the population or regional security; however, the situation remains tense, and prospects for further attacks are uncertain. Local authorities urge residents to remain calm, stay vigilant, and follow all safety recommendations. Kyiv regional authorities confirm that work is underway to strengthen air defense systems further and provide citizens with necessary resources to prevent more severe consequences in the future. This nighttime attack serves as another reminder of the high tension and complex situation in the region amid the ongoing war Russia is waging against Ukraine. Local authorities and law enforcement continue to implement measures to ensure the safety of the population and protect infrastructure.
