Quote: "Another difficult night for the Bilohorodka hromada. The Nova Poshta depot in Sviatopetrivske was hit and a nearby production facility was damaged.

Information about casualties is being confirmed."

Details: Ovsiienko said that approximately an hour after the initial strike, while firefighters had been tackling the blaze, two more strikes had hit the same location. Firefighters managed to move to a safer area in time.

Due to heavy smoke, residents of Sviatopetrivske and nearby areas are urged to keep their windows closed and, if possible, avoid going outside unless necessary. Local authorities also asked people not to approach the site of the strike because of the risk of further attacks.

Background: Russian forces struck Kyiv Oblast with attack drones and ballistic missiles on the night of 26-27 August, damaging warehouses in the Boryspil and Fastiv districts. A 15-year-old girl and a 73-year-old woman were injured.
