## 🎯 Key Points

- Smoke was recorded in a non-production room at the Dovzhenko Film Studio.
- Officials reported no casualties or material damage.
- Voltage drops due to a difficult energy situation were named as the cause.
- Contradictory data regarding the scale of destruction and fire exist in media.

An emergency incident occurred on the territory of the legendary Oleksandr Dovzhenko Film Studio in Kyiv, attracting the attention of the public and mass media.  Official representatives of the institution promptly commented on the situation, stating that smoke had been recorded in one of the non-production premises. The incident caused a wide resonance against the background of the difficult situation in the Ukrainian capital.

### Energy Crisis and Causes of the Incident

According to the official statement of the film studio's management published on social networks, serious problems with power supply became the cause of the smoke. Due to regular hostile attacks on the country's critical infrastructure, constant voltage drops and emergency power outages are observed in Kyiv. This creates an increased load on power grids and leads to local emergency situations even in protected administrative and cultural facilities.

### Liquidation of Consequences and Work of Services

Fortunately, thanks to the prompt reaction of the staff and the rapid arrival of specialized departments, the situation was brought under control within minutes. Crews of the State Emergency Service (SES) and DTEK emergency crews immediately departed to the scene. Through the joint efforts of specialists, the consequences of the smoke were eliminated, and the threat of fire was completely eliminated.

The film studio administration officially confirmed that none of the employees or civilians were injured as a result of the incident. Material damage to the object was also not caused; property and historical funds remained completely safe. The situation is under the constant control of the capital's responsible services.

### Contradictory Data

It is worth noting that serious discrepancies regarding the scale of the incident have appeared in the information space. While official sources of the Dovzhenko Film Studio and the SES report only minor smoke in a non-production room with no casualties or damage, a number of independent media outlets and Telegram channels, citing operational summaries, reported a full-scale fire. According to alternative reports, the incident was accompanied by massive destruction as a result of a night missile and drone attack on Kyiv, which also affected other cultural heritage sites of the city.
