Russia continued attacking Kyiv overnight and into the morning of Sept. 16 with jet-powered drones, while emergency crews later extinguished a large fire at warehouse buildings in the city’s Sviatoshynskyi district.
By 1:40 p.m., rescue workers had extinguished the large warehouse fire in the Sviatoshynskyi district.
According to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, the fire had spread to neighboring premises, but it has now been fully put out.
Reuters published footage showing the massive fire that broke out at the warehouses in Kyiv’s Sviatoshynskyi district earlier in the morning.
17 sites were damaged in Kyiv Oblast over the past day and this morning, according to regional military governor Tymur Tkachenko, who reported on the aftermath of the continued Russian drone attacks on the region.
“Fallout was recorded in the Bila Tserkva, Boryspil, Brovary, Bucha, and Obukhiv districts,” Tkachenko said.
According to him, the damage affected private homes, vehicles, a municipal institution, and hangar and production facilities.
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.
