A fire broke out in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district due to a Russian drone attack on October 25. It has already been extinguished, according to the acting head of the Darnytskyi district administration, Mykola Kalashnyk.

“Russia continues night terror, shelling the capital, in particular through the territory of the Darnytskyi district,” he says.

According to him, the wreckage of a downed Russian unmanned aerial vehicle caused a fire in the open area.

“Firefighters promptly extinguished the fire and prevented its spread,” states Kalashnyk.
