Russia has attacked critical infrastructure in Ukraine’s Zhytomyr Oblast for a second consecutive day, the State Emergency Service said on Sept. 30.
The attack damaged critical infrastructure facilities and private businesses and sparked fires in the Korosten, Zhytomyr and Zviahel districts.
Four passenger cars also caught fire. The fires have been extinguished, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said.
Emergency crews also inspected the affected areas for explosive hazards. State Emergency Service psychologists were working at the scene.
Overnight on Tuesday, Sept. 29, Russian forces carried out about 10 strikes on civilian infrastructure in Zhytomyr Oblast, targeting several cities.
On Sept. 25, Russian forces attacked Kromberg & Schubert, a foreign-invested company in the Zhytomyr community, for the second time in a week.
On Sept. 21, Russian forces attacked gas stations in Zhytomyr Oblast twice in one day. The first strike hit a gas station on the M-06 highway on the outskirts of Zviahel. Russian forces later struck a WOG gas station complex in the Zviahel district.
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.
