Russians have once again attacked the Kyiv region, resulting in a large-scale fire, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service.

An infrastructure facility caught fire in the Fastiv district following a Russian strike.

Due to the large-scale blaze, high temperatures, and heavy smoke, rescue workers had to call in additional personnel and equipment from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

Specialists worked simultaneously at several locations, preventing the fire from spreading to neighboring structures.
