Russian drone strikes triggered fires at industrial facilities and a logistics hub across two districts in Kyiv Oblast, the State Emergency Service (SES) reported on Sept. 7.
The drone raid ignited blazes at industrial enterprises in the Boryspil district. At one of the affected commercial facilities, flames destroyed seven cargo trucks.
Russian forces also carried out two separate drone strikes against a major logistics complex building.
All reported fires were already fully extinguished.
On Sept. 6, emergency teams reported a large-scale fire that erupted at an infrastructure site in the Fastiv district following a Russian aerial assault.
On Sept. 5, a Russian attack killed two civilians in the Bucha district of Kyiv Oblast. As of 6 p.m. that evening, 28 separate infrastructure and residential sites had sustained damage across five administrative districts in Oblast. The damaged properties included private and multi-family homes, commercial warehouses, railway tracks, the grounds of an agricultural enterprise, and civilian motor vehicles.
Kyiv Oblast Military Administration officials added that firefighters were actively working to suppress an additional blaze in the Fastiv district resulting from Russian strikes. No casualties were reported from that scene.
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.
