An air raid alert was declared in Kyiv overnight on September 16 due to the threat of drone attacks. After the alert was lifted, a warehouse building caught fire in the Sviatoshynskyi district as a result of an enemy attack, reports the Kyiv City Military Administration.
A yellow alert level was declared in Kyiv over the threat of drone attacks, and residents were urged to move to the nearest shelters. A few minutes later, the all-clear was announced.
However, the consequences of the attack later became known: a warehouse building caught fire in the Sviatoshynskyi district. Emergency services are working at the scene to deal with the aftermath.
It should be noted that Kyiv was already attacked by drones just the day before, on September 15. The drones struck a gas station and warehouses in the city.
Earlier, on September 10, a drone struck the grounds of a gas station in the Holosiivskyi district, injuring several people. Later that evening, another attack damaged a business center and an office building.
In addition, a drone attack overnight on September 11 sparked a fire in a nine-story residential building in Kyiv's Dniprovskyi district.
