The night sky over the Kyiv region was illuminated by flashes of explosions and tongues of flame. On the night of Wednesday, August 5, the region was subjected to a massive combined attack. Russian forces struck the capital and surrounding areas with ballistic missiles and drones. The consequences of the attack were devastating: according to the latest data, 14 people have died, and another 22 have sustained injuries of varying severity.

### Massive Fires in Brovary District

One of the most affected areas was the Brovary district. Rescue units of the State Emergency Service (SES) are working at four locations. Fire has engulfed warehouse buildings in the city of Brovary, the settlement of Holova Dymka, the village of Kvitneve, and the village of Pobeda. The rescuers' report notes that the scale of the fires is significant, and the work is complicated by the risk of repeated strikes.

The situation on the railway tracks is particularly worrying. Due to attacks on logistics centers located in close proximity to the infrastructure, train movement has been disrupted. According to operational information, the bodies of the deceased were found on the territory of the railway platform near the attacked objects. At the moment of the strike, movement at the stations was suspended, and personnel and passengers were evacuated urgently.

### Situation in Bucha and Fastiv Districts

In the Bucha district, rescuers continue to extinguish fires at two objects. A warehouse building is burning in the village of Chaiky, and the territory of a logistics enterprise was engulfed in flames in the village of Sofiivska Borshchahivka. In the Fastiv district, firefighters contained a fire involving vehicles on the territory of one of the enterprises.

In Kyiv, where mass fires also broke out, mainly warehouse premises were burning. According to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, one woman died in the capital, and more than 20 people were injured. All victims in the region are receiving the necessary medical assistance.

### Work in Conditions of Increased Danger

Emergency service employees continue to extinguish fires and conduct search and rescue operations in conditions where the threat of new missile strikes remains. The situation remains tense, and the scale of destruction requires time for full assessment and elimination of consequences.
