In the Boryspil district, the attack caused a fire at warehouses. Efforts to put it out are currently underway and all the necessary emergency services have been deployed at the scene."
Details: Warehouse facilities were also damaged in the Fastiv district. Houses were damaged in the Boryspil, Brovary and Vyshhorod districts.
A 15-year-old girl and a 73-year-old woman were injured in the Boryspil district. They received medical treatment at the scene and did not require hospitalisation.
Ruban told Ukrainska Pravda that firefighters are still working to extinguish the fire at the warehouses in the Boryspil district.
Update: The State Emergency Service later reported that rescue workers in the Boryspil district are responding at nine locations, including residential buildings, warehouses and fires in open areas.
Their work is being complicated by repeat Russian attacks. The threat of further strikes has forced firefighters to suspend their work several times and retreat to safer locations.
Background: Two educational institutions and a municipal medical facility have been damaged in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district and debris from downed aerial assets has landed between residential buildings in the Podilskyi district as a result of the latest Russian attack on the Ukrainian capital.
