Rescue workers and all necessary services are working at the scene, and residents are urged to respond to air raid alerts and stay in shelters. ### What happened in Borispil According to media reports, a drone hit a multi-story residential building in Borispil, with the impact striking the roof. As a result, the roofing and the top floor of the nine-story building were damaged, and a fire broke out in one of the apartments and on the roof. The Kyiv Regional Military Administration confirmed the fact of the attack and its consequences. At the time of publication, the exact number of damaged apartments and the extent of the destruction were still being assessed on site. ### Consequences of the attack and the work of emergency services Preliminarily, there were no casualties, however this figure is provisional and may be revised following an inspection of the building and interviews with residents. Rescue and emergency services are working at the scene: they are extinguishing the fire, inspecting the building's structure for any risk of collapse, and ensuring the safety of residents. This is why military administrations and the media strongly recommend not to disregard personal safety and to promptly take shelter upon hearing air raid alerts. ### Context: a series of strikes on Kyiv Oblast The attack on Borispil became part of a series of strikes on Kyiv Oblast. On September 1, the city endured a massive attack: a residential building and an enterprise were damaged, one person was killed, eight more were injured, including a child, and 48 people had to be evacuated from the damaged building. That same night, explosions were heard in Kyiv — the capital was struck by ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as by loitering munitions. Earlier, on August 22, the Borispil district came under a ballistic missile strike, and on August 20, food warehouses and Red Cross facilities in Borispil were hit — then, according to reports, 13 people were killed. ### Appeals for safety Against the backdrop of repeated attacks, authorities and the media are appealing to residents to carefully respond to air raid alerts, not to stay near potentially hazardous facilities, and to remain in shelters whenever possible. Experts and rescue services emphasize: even when there are no casualties in a particular attack, a damaged residential building remains a source of risk, so it is important to follow the instructions of emergency services. ### Contradictory data In the initial report, the incident is described as an "enemy attack" with an "impact," without specifying the type of weapon, whereas the headlines of RBC-Ukraine and from-ua.org explicitly refer to a drone that hit the roof of a multi-story building. Thus, the difference lies only in the level of detail, not in the essence of the event. Moreover, the information about the absence of casualties is given as preliminary: final data on victims and the injured may change after the on-site work is completed. The figures for previous attacks (September 1 — one killed and eight injured; August 20 — 13 killed) are based on media reports and official summaries and need to be verified against the final data from the authorities. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [In Borispil, a drone hit the roof of a residential multi-story building](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/borispoli-dron-vluchiv-pryamo-dah-zhitlovoyi-1788561529.html) - Подтверждает попадание дрона в крышу многоэтажки в Борисполе, пожар и работу служб; ссылается на Киевскую областную военную администрацию. - [Russian drone hit a multi-story building in Borispil.
