Russian forces attacked Ukraine's Kyiv Oblast overnight into Sept. 13. A logistics warehouse in the Boryspil district was struck for a second time, Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported.
Economic Pravda reports, citing sources, that the Russians have been striking one of Ukraine’s largest pharmaceutical warehouses—Universal Logistic—for two days in a row.
Universal Logistic is one of Ukraine’s two largest pharmaceutical warehouses. The other is Biokon, which the Russians had already attacked on Sept. 3. According to information on the company’s website, Universal Logistic’s total warehouse space is 21,000 square meters.
According to rescuers, Russian forces struck the facility again after firefighters had spent an extended period battling the initial blaze.
Firefighters from Boryspil International Airport were brought in to assist SES rescuers.
Overnight, Russian drones also attacked Khmelnytskyi Oblast, sparking a fire at an industrial facility. In Odesa, a Russian strike damaged a high-rise building. Attacks were also reported on Rivne, Mykolaiv, and other regions.
During the day on Sept. 13, Russia continued its attack on western Ukraine. A series of explosions was heard in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil and other western regions amid the threat of drones. One person was injured in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast as a result of the attack, the regional military administration reported.
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.
