In the Kyiv region, the number of injured has risen following the Russian attack; residents of Vyshneve have been urged not to go out onto the streets
In the Kyiv region, efforts to deal with the aftermath of a massive Russian attack are ongoing. According to the latest figures, 15 local residents have been injured, including a nine-month-old girl. Eleven of the injured are in hospital.
The most critical situation is in Vyshneve, in the Bucha district. Due to the risk of unexploded ordnance detonating again, the police have cordoned off the area near the site of the attack. Residents have been urged to remain in safe places, stay away from the danger zone and follow the advice of the emergency services.
The Vyshneve municipal community has also appealed to residents and businesses not to go to work or be out on the streets until further notice confirming that the danger has passed. The warning applies to Kyivska, Sviatoshynska, Parkova, Lesia Ukrainka, Yevropeiska, Balukova, Zaliznychna and Pivdenna streets.
The community has emphasised that, following the enemy attack, there is a risk of secondary detonation of explosive devices, which could pose a fatal danger.
Police and rescue services are evacuating residents from dangerous areas where necessary. All emergency and specialist services continue to operate on a heightened alert.
Due to the security situation, traffic arrangements have been temporarily altered on certain sections of the railway. Trains No. 93 Kharkiv–Kholm, No. 134 Kamianets-Podilskyi–Kyiv, No. 94 Kholm – Kharkiv, No. 43 Dnipro – Ivano-Frankivsk and No. 104 Lviv – Lozova are running via alternative routes. On the Fastiv route, a bus service has been organised between Boyarka and Kyiv.
Mykola Kalashnyk, Head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, has urged residents not to ignore air-raid sirens, to rely only on official information, and not to touch any suspicious objects. If any such objects are found, you must immediately report the discovery by calling 101 or 102.
