## 🎯 Key Points

- After the nighttime strike, Kyiv Oblast came under 28 further repeat attacks; air raid alerts sounded 11 times for a total of over 14 hours.
- Rescuers are extinguishing warehouses of the retail chains "Fara", "Dom Igrushkek" and Comfy at three locations under the threat of new shelling.
- In Kharkiv, a drone attacked a hypermarket: one killed and five injured.
- The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces recorded around 140 strike drones from 07:00, more than 100 of them jet-powered.
- The number of deaths in Kyiv Oblast varies across sources (from no data to three and "numerous" casualties).

Kyiv Oblast came under continuous fire over the course of a day: following the first nighttime strike on the region, 28 further enemy attacks followed. According to rescue services, air raid alerts sounded 11 times from the night, with their total duration exceeding 14 hours. Against this backdrop, rescue units continue to extinguish large-scale fires while working under the constant threat of new shelling.

### Working at the limits of endurance

In a statement, rescue services emphasise that dealing with the aftermath of Russian shelling has become an "test at the limits of human endurance" for firefighters. Firefighters are forced to interrupt extinguishing operations and move to a safe distance each time the threat of a repeat strike arises. Despite the constant targeted danger and, as of the time of the statement, 13 repeat strikes, the crews return to work and continue fighting the fire.

### Strikes on logistics and fires at three locations

At night, Russian forces carried out a massive strike on the logistical infrastructure of Kyiv Oblast. As a result, the distribution centres of the retail chains "Fara", "Dom Igrushkek" (Toy House) and Comfy were damaged or destroyed. At present, extinguishing of warehouse buildings is ongoing at three locations, which are burning as a result of repeat shelling. According to reports from several Ukrainian media outlets, the fire has spread not only to the warehouses but also to nearby houses and forested areas, complicating the firefighters' work and requiring the deployment of additional forces.

### Casualties in Kharkiv and the scale of the daytime attack

Around noon, a Russian drone attacked a hypermarket in the Osnova district of Kharkiv. According to available data, one person was killed as a result of the strike and five others were injured. The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that from 07:00 the Russians launched approximately 140 strike drones at Ukraine, more than 100 of which were jet-powered. This indicates the combined nature of the daytime attack, combining drones and other means of destruction.

### Contradictory data

Accounts of the consequences of the strike on Kyiv Oblast differ across sources. The original text (RBC-Ukraine) focuses on the strike on logistical infrastructure and distribution centres, without specifying the number of deaths in the oblast. Meanwhile, the publication glavred.info reports the use of ballistic missiles against Kyiv and the oblast, with three people killed, while focus.ua writes of a combined strike and the aftermath found on a railway platform in Boryspil (Brovary) with numerous casualties. Thus, the nature of the target (warehouses/logistics versus a railway platform) and the number of deaths in Kyiv Oblast do not match across open sources and require additional verification.

### End-of-day summary

The totality of the data indicates that Kyiv Oblast and Kharkiv experienced one of the longest air raid alerts in recent days — more than 14 hours without a break for actual safety. The key task for rescuers remains containing the fires at warehouses and residential facilities while the risk of repeat strikes persists. Final figures on damage and casualties will be clarified as extinguishing and debris clearance operations are completed.
