In the Brovary district of Kyiv region, a warehouse building is burning after a drone strike by Russian invaders, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported on Telegram.
Specifically, in the Kyiv region firefighters are extinguishing a fire in a warehouse building in the Brovary district that started during the day as a result of a strike by a Russian UAV.
"Because of the threat of repeated attacks, rescuers have to withdraw to a safe distance, but as soon as it becomes possible they return to work," the statement said.
In addition, State Emergency Service rescuers are working at grass fire sites in the Brovary and Vyshhorod districts that were caused by falling fragments of UAVs.
Separately, this evening Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that in the Dnipro district of the capital, fragments of an enemy UAV fell at various addresses in courtyards near residential buildings. In both cases no fires were recorded at the sites.
According to a statement by LLC Kyivhuma on the social network Facebook, as a result of today’s attack some of Kyivhuma’s premises were damaged. However, there are no critical damages.
"Most importantly — our people are safe. Thanks to the timely evacuation, none of the employees were injured," the statement said.
At the same time, for safety reasons production has been temporarily suspended. The consequences and the damage caused are currently being assessed.
"The situation has not affected the fulfillment of our orders and obligations to clients and partners. Already tomorrow, 19 August we plan to return to normal operations," the statement said.
Today, air raid sirens sounded almost continuously throughout the day due to the launch of Russian invaders’ jet drones.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, as of 18:30 p.m. Russian invaders launched 76 jet-type Shahed UAVs at Ukraine.
"According to preliminary data, air defenses managed to shoot down and suppress more than 70 of the enemy’s jet UAVs," the report said.
In this regard, drone strikes and the fall of downed UAVs were recorded at several locations. After 18.30 more than twenty jet UAVs entered Ukrainian airspace.
The evolution of Russia’s Shaheds
As UNIAN reported, the Russian Federation is seeking to replace the conventional piston-engine strike Shahed drones, which it has used almost since the start of the full-scale invasion, with faster jet-powered UAVs.
