Overnight on January 9, the enemy carried out a massive attack on Ukraine, including the Kyiv region and the capital. Numerous residential buildings, critical infrastructure facilities, vehicles, warehouses, garages, and other sites were damaged.
As reported by the Kyiv Regional State Administration overnight, people in the Brovary district of the Kyiv region were hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning that occurred during a fire caused by the attacks.
