This was announced by the capital's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, in his Telegram channel, as reported by RBC-Ukraine. At the time the message was published, emergency services were still working at the scene of the incident. ### Cause of the Fire — UAV Debris According to Klitschko, the fire started on an open area as a result of debris falling from an enemy drone. "A fire on an open area is being extinguished in the Holosiivskyi district, which occurred as a result of UAV debris falling," the mayor emphasized. This is not the first incident in the district within the last 24 hours: on the evening of September 1, a fire also raged on an open area there following a Russian attack. ### Timeline of Strikes: From Podilskyi to Solomianskyi Attacks on the capital had not ceased since the morning of September 1. At that time, Russian military forces were striking with drones: in the Podilskyi district, a fire broke out on the upper floors of a 16-story residential building. On the evening of the same day, drones again hit the Holosiivskyi district, and a fire was recorded in a private house in the Solomianskyi district. Thus, by the morning of September 2, the Holosiivskyi district had been struck for the second time within 24 hours, confirming the systematic nature of the shelling. ### Damage in Kyiv Oblast On the evening of September 1, Vyshneve in Kyiv Oblast was also hit by drones: two townhouses were destroyed in the city. At the same time, in the Buchanskyi district, enemy shells hit warehouses, where a fire started. It is known that a woman born in 1971 was injured as a result of the incident. ### Zelensky Announces Closing of the Sky Over Russia Against the backdrop of increasing intensity of attacks on Ukrainian cities, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated the intention to close the airspace over Russian territory. The statement was made as a response to the systematic strikes on civilian facilities in Kyiv and the oblast during September 1–2. ### Contradictory Data In Klitschko's statement about the morning fire on September 2 in the Holosiivskyi district, the mention is exclusively of a fire on an open area without any reference to casualties or fatalities. However, other sources record more severe consequences of strikes on the same district in the preceding hours: according to TSN, on the evening of September 1 the Holosiivskyi district was hit for the second time that evening, resulting in one fatality. The portal from-ua.org, in turn, reports eight fatalities following the night attack on Kyiv, with two children among the injured. The exact attribution of these figures to a specific night or evening episode is not disclosed in the provided materials, creating a discrepancy in the chronology and scale of losses between the mayor's official statement and the data from other publications. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Fire breaks out in Kyiv after Russian attack](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/kievi-pochalasya-pozhezha-pislya-ataki-rf-1788329216.html) - Подтверждает факт пожара в Киеве после атаки РФ, согласуется с заявлением Кличко в Telegram. - [Eight killed in Kyiv after night attack, two children among the injured.
