Emergency crews are working to eliminate the aftermath of a
massive Russian attack on five districts of Kyiv, Ukraine’s State Emergency
Service reported via Telegram on July 4.
In the Solomianskyi district, a five-story building was
partially destroyed. A fire broke out on the roof of a seven-story building,
covering an area of 2,000 square meters.
Fires also erupted at a warehouse, an auto repair shop, and
a garage cooperative. The State Emergency Service noted that the Russian strike
damaged a large amount of civilian infrastructure.
In the Sviatoshynskyi district, a fire broke out after a
missile hit a 14-story residential building. Several cars caught fire as well.
Crews are battling multiple fires in non-residential buildings.
Meanwhile, in the Shevchenkivskyi district, an unmanned
aerial vehicle strike hit an unoccupied eight-story building, damaging its
first floor.
The State Emergency Service added that falling debris from
enemy drones was recorded in the Darnytskyi and Holosiivskyi districts.
More than 450 emergency workers and about 100 units of State
Emergency Service equipment were deployed to respond to the attack’s aftermath
in Kyiv.
Overnight into July 4, Russian forces launched a large-scale
missile and drone attack on the capital. Nineteen people were injured, 14 of
whom were hospitalized.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
